प्रश्न
In Kolbe’s reaction, instead of phenol, phenoxide ion is treated with carbon dioxide. Why?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Phenoxide ion is more reactive than phenol towards electrophilic substitution. The negative charge on oxygen is transferred to benzene through resonance. This helps in the attachment of CO2 which is a weak electrophile to the benzene ring finally giving salicylic acid.
