Which intermediate is formed in the Reimer-Tiemann reaction?
- A Aldehyde
- B Carbocation
- C Carbanion
- D Substituted benzal chloride
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Substituted benzal chloride
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In Reimer-Tiemann reaction, on treating phenol with chloroform in the presence of sodium hydroxide, a \(-\mathrm{CHO}\) group is introduced at ortho position of benzene ring. Hence, substituted benzyl chloride is intermediate in Reimer-Tiemann reaction.
