Solution
- Phenol to salicyaldehyde: When phenol is treated with chloroform in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution followed by hydrolysis with acid, salicylaldehyde is formed.
- This reaction is known as the Reimer-Tiemann reaction.
- If the solvent chloroform (CHCl3) is replaced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), salicylic acid is formed.
