    When does LiAlH4 act as a base and when does it act as a nucleophile?

    When you throw in LiAlH4 with a carboxylic acid, you always see the reaction being written out as the Hydride ion attacking the carbonyl function. But why can't it just de-protonate the OH? Also, can't LAH also deprotonate alpha carbons of carbonyl functions that are pretty acidic? Why...
