The reaction of phenol with chloroform in the presence of sodium hydroxide, followed by hydrolysis in an acidic medium, is known as the Reimer-Tiemann reaction. This reaction results in the formation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (commonly known as salicylaldehyde). The reaction can be represented as:
\(\text{Phenol} + \text{CHCl}_3 + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow 2\text{-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (salicylaldehyde)}\)
The reaction involves the introduction of a formyl group (-CHO) at the ortho position relative to the hydroxyl group (-OH), producing 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde.
The Correct Answer is: 2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde
