	Carboxyl Derivative Reactivity
		Because the outcome of LAH reduction is so different for esters and amides, we must examine plausible reaction mechanisms for these reactions to discover a reason for this divergent behavior.

	INTRODUCTION (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Among the many types of reducing reagents, the most common are the metal hydrides: lithium aluminum hydride and sodium borohydride.
		At room temperature the lithium aluminum hydride is a very powerful reducing agent, it is capable of reducing carboxylic acids, esters, nitriles, amides, aldehydes, and ketones while sodium borohydride at room temperature only reduces aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding alcohols.
		Reduction reactions using lithium aluminum hydride and sodium borohydride proceed by the addition of a hydride ion to the organic substrate.

	OxiationLevels
		Reagents that act as hydride ion donors all share one structural feature: They all contain at least one hydrogen atom that is bonded to another atom which is less electronegative than hydrogen.
		While lithium aluminum hydride's high reactivity may be useful, it can also be a disadvantage if you want to selectively reduce one heteronuclear multiple bond in a compound that contains several.
		By using 1 equivalent of DIBAL at low temperatures it is possible to reduce the ester to the corresponding aldehyde without further reduction of the aldehyde to the primary alcohol.
