    The document lists 17 reducing agents and their ability to reduce various functional groups. It provides information on the reducing ability of lithium aluminum hydride in ether. According to the document, lithium aluminum hydride is able to reduce aldehydes and ketones to alcohols with relative ease. Ester and amide groups are also reduced to alcohols and amines respectively by lithium aluminum hydride. Nitro groups and carbon-carbon double bonds are reduced with more difficulty by this reagent. Aromatic nitro groups are reduced with the most difficulty by lithium aluminum hydride.
