Hydride Reduction | NaBH4 vs LiAlH4 vs DIBAH | 20.5 Organic Chemistry

Chad provides a succinct lesson covering a few select reductions using special hydride reagents. Specifically, the reduction of acid halides and acid anhydrides to aldehydes using lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride and the reduction of esters to aldehydes using DIBAH (di-isobutylaluminum hydride).
