Treatment of a phenol with -------and aq...

Treatment of a phenol with -------and aqueous hydroxide introduces an aldehyde group`(-CHO)` onto the aromatic ring, generally ortho to the `-OH`.

A

`C Cl_(4)`

B

`CH_(2)Cl_(2)`

C

`CH_(3)Cl`

D

`CHCl_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
This reaction is known as the reimer-Timmann reaction.

If carbon tetrachlored or pyrene `(C Cl_(4))` is used in place of chloroform `(CHCl_(3))`, salicylic acid is the major product.

It is believed that chloroform and hydroxide ion react to produce an electron deficient intermediate dichlorocarbene : C Cl_(2) (DC C) Treatment of phenol with DCC in basic medium introduces an aldehyde group, onto the aromatic ring. This reaction is known as Reimer Tiemann reaction. The Reimer-Tiemann reaction involves electrophilic substitution on highly reactive phenoxide ring The electrophilic reagent is dichloro carbene : C Cl_(2) . o-product is major product because : (i) There are two o-positions available as compared to one para. (ii) o-product is more stable due to the formation ofsix membered chelate formation. If 1^(@) amines (aliphatic and aromatic) react with DCC in basic medium it yield isocyanide or carbylamine. The reaction is known as carbylamine reaction. The product is known as isocyanide & it is a foul smelling substance. Step marked by * is :
