Answer» Correct Answer - D It is an example of Reimer Tiemann reaction. The electrophile involved in the reaction is dichlorocarbene `( : C Cl_(2))` and is formed as follows : `{:(CHCl_(3),+,OH^(-),hArr,overset(..)(C)Cl_(3)+H_(2)O),(,,,,darr-Cl^(-)),(,,,,:C Cl_(2)),(,,,,"Dichlorocarbene (electrophile)"):}` |
