  2. BReimer - Tiemann reaction
  3. CWolf reaction
  4. DClemmenson reaction

Correct answer

A. Kolbe reaction

Step-by-step solution

The given reaction shows sodium phenoxide reacting with carbon dioxide (CO2CO_2) at a temperature of 398 K398\text{ K} and a pressure of 6 atm6\text{ atm} to form sodium salicylate as an intermediate. Upon subsequent acidification (H3O+H_3O^+), salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) is formed as the major product.

This specific sequence of converting phenol (via its sodium salt) into salicylic acid using CO2CO_2 is known as the Kolbe reaction (or Kolbe-Schmitt reaction).
