The phenol into salicylicaldhyde
Explanation:
Phenol
It has molecular formula C₆H₅OH
Conversion of phenol to Salicylic aldehyde
There is a special name given to it : Reimer Tieman reaction
In this phenol reacts with chloroform in presence of sodium hydroxide at temperature 340K to form an intermediate .
This intermediate further reacts with sodium hydroxide , followed by loss of water molecule .
This give rise to another intermediate that reacts with HCl and leads to formation of Salicylicaldehyde .
The equation is attached below :
