This reaction allows you to stop the reduction atthe aldehyde stage and not continue to the alcohol(which would be the result with LiAlH4).

This is an older method. Yields are not alwaysadequate, but it is sometimes a useful method.

This method gives better yields than theRosenmund reduction.
Apparently the tetrahedralintermediate does not collapse at -70o C (expel the leaving group). This doesn’t happenuntil you warm the solution and add aqueous acid whichdestroys the DIBAL-H.

DIBALH ALSO REDUCES ALDEHYDES AND KETONES
The main feature of DIBALH is that it reacts only ONCE to form a stable tetrahedral complex. Since the complex doesn’t fall apart until workup, a second reduction is avoided.
Aldehydes and ketones only need one hydride to be fully reduced …... therefore, DIBAL-H reduces aldehydes and ketones.
With esters, acid chlorides and acids, more than onehydride is required. Since DIBAL-H reacts only once,they are not fully reduced, stopping at the aldehyde.
