Combo deal: Biomass furaldehydes are upgraded into oxygenated diesel and high‐quality C 10–12 linear alkane fuels. The first of two steps involves solvent‐free self‐condensation (Umpolung) through organocatalysis using an N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC), yielding C 10 –C 12 furoin intermediates. In the metal–acid tandem catalysis step, in water, the furoin intermediates are converted into oxygenated biodiesel by hydrogenation, etherification or esterification; or into premium alkane jet fuels by hydrodeoxygenation.
