Reimer-Tiemann reaction involves an aryl carbanion/enolate anion and also -"CCl"_(3) derived from the action of strong bases on CHCl_(3), though the latter has only a transient existence decomposing to "CCl"_(2), a highly electron deficient electrophile that attacks the aromatic nucleus, the product from phenoxideion is after acidification, very largely the o-aldehyde plus just a small amount of p-isomer. If the above reaction is carried out on the anion of p-hydroxytoluene, what will be theproduct/products?
