TLDR
Although the anionic hydride [HFe(CO) 4 ] − is capable of reducing ketones and aldehydes under acidic conditions, it also selectively reduces nitrobenzene to aniline, even in the presence of benzaldehyde, benzyl chloride, or benzoyl chloride as discussed by the authors.

Reduction of Nitro and Nitroso Compounds

TL;DR: Aromatic nitro compounds are the usual starting materials for commercial applications, but aliphatic compounds exhibit a greater diversity of chemical behavior under reducing conditions as mentioned in this paper, and are frequently encountered during the reduction of Nitro compounds, such as hydroxylamines, oximes, amines, nitrones, ketones and silyl nitronates.

Reductive N-acylation of nitroarenes by Fe3+-montmorillonite

TL;DR: In this paper, the Nacylation of nitroarenes to anilides in moderate to good yields in the presence of carboxylic acid anhydrides using a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst, Fe3+-montmorillonite, prepared from inexpensive materials is achieved in a single pot.

Potassium tetracarbonylhydridoferrate : A reagent for the selective reduction of carbonyl groups

TL;DR: KHFe(CO)4 is an efficient reagent for the reduction of electron-deficient ketones (trifluoroacetophenone) and for the selective mono-reduction of the keto group of α-ketocarbonyl compounds such as benzil, methyl benzoylformate, N-methylisatine and methyl pyruvate as discussed by the authors.
