Selective transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones and β‐keto esters to the corresponding alcohols was achieved by using ruthenium nanoclusters supported on alkali‐exchanged zeolite beta catalyst. The high activity and selectivity of the catalyst is due to the presence of highly dispersed ruthenium clusters in combination with the large number of Brønsted acidic sites of zeolite.
