Sir has said that LiAlH4 will reduce ester to alcohol but will have no effect on acid (in the given example). Does this only hold true when Ester and acid are given simultaneously? Or does LiAlH4 does not reduce acid at all?
LiAlH4 reduces the carboxylic acid, not reducing only in that particular case.
