Can someone please provide the major organic product which results when (CH3)2-CH-CH2-CH2-COCl is treated with DIBAH.

 well i know ester become aldehyde when treated with DIBAH... i assume since the acyl chloride is the most reactive, would probably go to the primary alcohol.. just guess

(CH3)2-CH-CH2-CH2-COCl + DIBAL-H

--> RCOCl + DIBAL (Rewrite)
