Questions
Write the equation involved in the following reaction:
Reimer-Tiemann reaction
Explain the following with an example.
Reimer-Tiemann reaction
Solution 1
On treating phenol with chloroform in the presence of sodium hydroxide, a –CHO group is introduced at ortho position of benzene ring. This reaction is known as Reimer-Tiemann reaction. The intermediate substituted benzal chloride is hydrolysed in the presence of alkali to produce salicylaldehyde.
