What is DIBAL-H: Selective Ester Reduction about?

DIBAL-H, or diisobutylaluminum hydride, is a selective reducing agent used to convert esters and nitriles to aldehydes, and carboxylic acids to alcohols under specific conditions, often at low temperatures. It is preferred over LiAlH4 due to its greater selectivity and ease of handling, reducing the risk of over-reduction. DIBAL-H is a colorless liquid, commercially available as a 1.0 M solution in various organic solvents, and is prepared by heating triisobutylaluminum.
