MCM-48 was synthesized by hydrothermal method using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and N-Cetyl-N,N,N-trimethylammoniumbromide (CTAB) as the template in a Teflon lined stainless steel autoclave at 433 K for 60 hours. The prepared MCM-48 was characterized by taking IR, XRD, SEM, EDX and Surface Area Analysis. The XRD pattern shows well ordered MCM-48 structure. The particle size was determined from the SEM image. Ruthenium nano particle were prepared by stirring Ruthenium chloride (0.0185g) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (0.4162g) in ethylene glycol (75mL) at 573 K. An UV of the Ru-nano sols confirms formation of nano particles. Ru-MCM-48 was then synthesized by post synthesized impregnation method. The Ru-MCM-48 was characterized by IR and surface area analysis. Hydrogenation reactions were carried out at room temperature by taking 1 mmol of acetophenone and 0.2g of Ru-MCM-48 in a PARR hydrogenation apparatus for 6 hours. The products formation was monitored with GCMS
