Identify the reagent used in Reimer-Tiemann reaction,

Identify the reagent used in Reimer-Tiemann reaction,

Options

  1. ACHCl3\text{CHCl}_3, aq.NaOH
  2. B[O][\text{O}], I2/NaOH\text{I}_2/\text{NaOH}
  3. CNaOH\text{NaOH}, CO2\text{CO}_2, H+\text{H}^+
  4. DNaHCO3\text{NaHCO}_3, Cu

Correct answer

A. CHCl3\text{CHCl}_3, aq.NaOH

Step-by-step solution

The Reimer-Tiemann reaction involves the treatment of phenol with chloroform (CHCl3\text{CHCl}_3) in the presence of an aqueous base such as sodium hydroxide (aq. NaOH) to introduce an aldehyde group (-CHO\text{-CHO}) at the ortho position of the benzene ring, forming salicylaldehyde.

The electrophile generated in this reaction is dichlorocarbene (:CCl2:\text{CCl}_2).

Therefore, the reagents used are CHCl3\text{CHCl}_3 and aq. NaOH.

Answer: CHCl3\text{CHCl}_3, aq.NaOH
