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.
