DIBAL-H, also known as diisobutylaluminum hydride, is a reducing agent commonly used in organic chemistry reactions to convert esters and ketones into alcohols. It functions by donating a hydride ion to the carbonyl group, resulting in the reduction of the functional group to an alcohol. This reaction is important in synthesizing various organic compounds.
