33. The occurrence of the deoxygenation at gold NPs on Au/HT was confirmed as follows: Au/HT was removed from the reaction mixture at 50% conversion of 1a. Continued stirring of the filtrate under similar conditions did not give any further products. In addition, no gold ions in the filtrate were confirmed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis.
34. See the Supporting Information for the details of the preparation method of various metal NPs supported on HT.
35. See the Supporting Information for details.
36. Au/HT-catalyzed deoxygenation of 2,3-epoxy-3-phenyl-1-propanol by using 2-propanol in a toluene was conducted at 110°C under Ar for 3 h, resulting in the formation of cinnamaldehyde and cinnamyl alcohol in 75% and 12% yield, respectively.
37. The turnover number (TON) reached 1000 in the deoxygenation of 1a in a THF solvent. See the Supporting Information for details.

40. D value of 3.9 was observed, indicating that not only does CO function as a sole reductant, but also water takes part in the deoxygenation.
