The electrophile involved in the Reimer-Tiemann reaction isA. dichloromethyl cation, `overset(+)CHCl_(2)`B. formyl cation `overset(+)CHO`C. trichloromethyl anion, `overset(-)C Cl_(3)`D. dichloro carbene : `"CCl"_(2)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - D In Reimer-Tiemann reaction the electrophile involved is dichlorocarbene, `:"CCl"_(2).` `CHCl_(3)+OH^(Theta)rarr underset("(Unstable)")(.^(Theta)"CCl"_(3))+H_(2)O` `.^(Theta)"CCl"_(3)rarr underset("Dichlorocarbene")(":CCl"_(2))+Cl^(-)` |
