Convert phenol into salicylic acid |
|
Answer» Phenol is converted to salicylic acid by Reimer-Tiemann REACTION. In this reaction, ortho hydroxyl benzaldehyde and ortho hydroxyl BENZOIC acid are obtained. There are two ways in which the reaction happens in the presence of different chemicals. When the reaction is carried out in the presence of NAOH and chloroform, the product obtained is ortho hydroxyl benzaldehyde. When the reaction is carried out in the presence of NaOH and carbon TETRACHLORIDE, the product obtained is ortho hydroxyl benzoic acid which is also known as salicylic acid.#diyaa |
