Oxygen vacancies (Ov) in metal oxides play a crucial role modifying the electronic and acidic properties of catalysts, thereby influencing their catalytic activity. This study explores impact Ov MnOx catalysts on for Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley (MPV) reduction levulinic acid (LA) levulinate to γ-valerolactone (GVL). Various characterization techniques demonstrate that surface significantly modulate positively correlating with Lewis/Brønsted ratio GVL yield. In situ DRIFTS DFT calculations further unveil reaction mechanism, revealing facilitate activation dehydrogenation isopropanol subsequent hydrogen transfer hydrogenation LA, leading enhanced production. These insights underscore pivotal efficient conversion LA
