Can I use H2 , Pd (C) / EtOH for the first reaction?

For the second one, if we use Rosenmund Reduction (H2, Pd/BaSO4/S), would that reduce the nitro group also? Thanks

Look up transfer hydrogenation for No 1
And Rosenmund reduction for No 2

So does H2/Pd (C) /EtOH reduce carbonyls AND alkenes?

Does rosenmund reduction or LiAlH(otBu)3 affect the nitrogroup?

I suggested transfer hydrogenation for No 1 as you can reduce ketones with hydrogenation, but the conditions are forcing.
Rosenmund does not affect nitro nor will LiAl(OtBu)3.
