Target synthesis of hydrocarbons from abundant biomass is highly desired for sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) to meet the need for both net zero carbon emission and air pollution control. However, precise hydrodeoxygenation (PHDO) of bio-based furan compounds and cyclicethers to isomerically pure alkanes remains a challenge in heterogenous catalysis, which usually requires delicate control of the

conversion of renewable biomass platform chemicals into high-quality fuels remains challenging. A one-pot catalytic approach has been developed to synthesize various structurally defined biofuels by using Hf(OTf)4 and Pd/C for selective tandem catalysis and 2-methylfuran (2-MF) as a renewable feedstock. 2-MF first undergoes Lewis acid-catalyzed hydroxyalkylation/alkylation (HAA) condensation with carbonyl
