The second equation (it's not really an equation, there is no equals sign) can only be zero for $l = -1$. I don't think that's a valid solution. — Martin - マーチン ♦7 hours ago
Diisobutylaluminium hydride(DIBAL-H) reduces only carboxylic acid, ester or both?
The answer given was that it only reduces ester.
Is it correct that under any condition carboxylic acids are not reduced by DIBAL-H?
