The principles of the isotopic exchange of hydrogen with deuterium in the course of the conversions of 5-methylfurfural on a palladium catalyst with varying activity were studied in order to study the mechanism of these reactions. It was established that hydrogen participates in the slow step of the hydrogenation of 5-methylfurfural. It was shown that the cause of the deactivation of the catalyst is the adsorption of the starting material. The previously proposed kinetic model of the conversions of 5-methylfurfural along the pathways of its decarbonylaton and hydrogenation was confirmed.
