Ques. 1NEET 2018

In the reaction, [figure] the electrophile involved is

  1. dichloromethyl cation ( CHCl2)
  2. formyl cation ( CHO)
  3. dichloromethyl anion ( CHCl2)
  4. dichlorocarbene (:CCl2)

Answer

(4) dichlorocarbene (:CCl2)

Solution

This is the Reimer–Tiemann reaction.

The base removes a proton from chloroform: CHCl3 + OH CCl3 + H2O

⇒ CCl3 :CCl2 + Cl

Dichlorocarbene (electron-deficient carbon with only six electrons) attacks the electron-rich ortho position of the phenoxide ion; hydrolysis of the -CHCl2 group then gives -CHO.

The electrophile is dichlorocarbene, :CCl2.

Answer: (4)
