Reimer–Tiemann Reaction Mechanism | Phenol to Salicylaldehyde | Organic Chemistry Made Easy

Описание: Reimer–Tiemann Reaction Mechanism | Phenol to Salicylaldehyde | Organic Chemistry Made Easy


In this video, we will cover the Reimer–Tiemann Reaction, a very important named reaction in organic chemistry. Using phenol as the starting compound, we explain step-by-step how it reacts with chloroform (CHCl₃) in the presence of NaOH to form o-salicylaldehyde (major product) and p-salicylaldehyde (minor product).

You’ll learn:
✅ Introduction to Reimer–Tiemann Reaction
✅ Formation of dichlorocarbene intermediate
✅ Stepwise mechanism with electron flow
✅ Major and minor product formation explained
✅ Easy memory tricks for exams
This reaction is highly significant for CSIR NET, GATE, IIT-JEE, NEET, and university organic chemistry exams.


📌 Watch till the end for a crystal-clear mechanism explanation with diagrams.
