both DIBAL H and that Lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminium hydride are sterically hindered so have difficulty in transfering H- so only partial reduction.
Can DIBAH convert acid chloride into aldehyde or ketone?
In ROSENMUND'S reaction whether CARBON-CARBON double and triple bonds are also reduced

DIBAL H converts acid chlorides to aldehydes u can also use
LiAlH(0-t-bu)3 in Et2O and yes thats called Lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminium hydride.
Better ask Srinath!
but seeing the mechanism i don't think it will reduce double or triple bond.............
hey rosenmud's rxtion is d one in wich acid chlorides can b reduced into aldehydes wid hydrogen in boilin xylene usin palladium or platinium as a catalyst supported on barium sulphate
so i dnt thing that it will reduce double bond
Double bonds are not reduced definitely as the catalyst is poisoned. w.r.t alkynes , I don't think it's possible with the poisoned catalyst . but with the unpoisoned catalyst the peculiar thing is it reduces the double and triple bonds to saturate them completely ., also the acid halide is reduced to the corresponding hydrocarbon .
i.e. acid halide →aldehyde→alcohol→hydrocarbon.
