A one‐pot method for the selective production of high‐grade diesel‐range alkanes from biomass‐derived furfural and 2‐methylfuran (2‐MF) was developed by combining the hydroxyalkylation/alkylation (HAA) condensation of furfural with 2‐MF and the subsequent hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) over a multifunctional Pd/NbOPO4 catalyst. The effects of various reaction conditions as well as a variety of solid‐acid catalysts and metal‐loaded NbOPO4 catalysts were systematically investigated to optimize the reaction conditions for both reactions. Under the optimal reaction conditions up to 89.1 % total yield of diesel‐range alkanes was obtained from furfural and 2‐MF by this one‐pot method.
