Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction of phenol with $CHCl_3$ and $KOH$ is the Reimer-Tiemann reaction,which yields salicylaldehyde ($2$-hydroxybenzaldehyde) as the intermediate $X$. Salicylaldehyde contains an aldehyde group but no $\alpha$-hydrogen atoms. When treated with $50 \%$ $KOH$ solution,it undergoes the Cannizzaro reaction,a disproportionation reaction. One molecule of salicylaldehyde is reduced to the corresponding alcohol ($2$-hydroxybenzyl alcohol),and another molecule is oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acid salt (potassium $2-$hydroxybenzoate).

The final product of the following reaction is/are:
