According to the question,the conversion of the phenol to the salol will be:
Chemical reaction:
Step1
React phenol with NaOH for getting the sod.phenoxide ion.
Step2
React sod.phenoxide ion with dry ice
(Carbon dioxide)
Step 3
The product formed in the step 2 becomes salol or the salicylic acid due to the presence of the diluted hydrochloric acid.
In this way we can make salol from phenol.
