Transfer hydrogenation of various carbonyl compounds was achieved in excellent yields by ruthenium nanoparticles stabilized on the nanocrystalline magnesium oxide by the incorporation of choline hydroxide, a basic ionic liquid. The procedure is simple, efficient and the catalyst can be recycled five times.
