Hi,

there is a recent publications dealing with the reduction of nitroaryl compounds
with palladium on charcoal and Hydrogen (wich could be safely generated
from ammonium formate). Maybe this can be used
in your case. Unfortunately, I can't find it in the mess that is my desk
but I'll search and let you know.

It's a fairly recent publication (this year).
