Hello all,

I was looking at the formation of alcohols in the EK orgo book and I saw that when using hydrides to react with carbonyls that esters and acetone were less reactive than aldehydes and ketones, which I understand why however if we were to decide between acetone and ester how would we do that?

Thanks!!
