Explanation:
The intermediate substituted benzal chloride is hydrolysed in presence of alkali to produce salicylaldehyde. Reimer Tiemenn reaction is an electrophilic substitution reaction. The first step is generation of electrophile. Dichlorocarbene contains a sextet of electrons and thus is a strong electrophile
