As you know, epoxides easily undergo C?O bond cleavage.

Don't look for a selective catalyst, open your epoxide instead.
Then protect the OH, reduce the aromatic NO2 group.
And finally deprotect your compound.

The yield would be better.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Jerzy Król-Bogomilski Ph.D.
