Would reduction of Alpha-Isonitrosopropiophenone be possible using TinDichloride??

That is an exceptionable hard to reduce substrate, it depends on which functional group you want to reduce.
To what do you want to reduce it, to the nitrosophenylpropionylalcohol?
Or straight the way to the aminoalcohol?
Or even further to the aminoalkane?
With Tin, no way.

Exceptionally? Not easy, certainly, but this doesn't even register on the list of things which are hard to reduce (consider, say, phosphoric acid).
I think, based on my remarkable intuition, that OP wants to produce the aminoketone, the CI-controlled substance cathinone. This can be done by
█████████████ in ██████ or by ███████████████████ with
████████ in a solvent such as ██████ or ██████. Unfortunately, discussing how to synthesize this compound is
against the rules.
