List-I Name of the Reaction

List-II Compound synthesized

(A) Kolbe's Reaction

(II) Salicylic acid

(B) Reimer Teimann Reaction

(I) Salicylaldehyde

(C) Etard Reaction

(IV) Benzaldehyde

(D) Sandmeyer Reaction

(III) Chlorobenzene

(A) Kolbe's Reaction → (II) Salicylic acid: Known as the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction, it involves treating sodium phenoxide (from phenol) with CO₂ under pressure and heat, followed by acidification, to yield salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid).

(B) Reimer-Tiemann Reaction → (I) Salicylaldehyde: Phenol reacts with chloroform in the presence of a strong base (e.g., NaOH), generating dichlorocarbene, which leads to ortho-formylation and yields salicylaldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde).

(C) Etard Reaction → (IV) Benzaldehyde: Toluene (or other alkylbenzenes) is oxidized using chromyl chloride (CrO₂Cl₂), forming a complex that hydrolyzes to benzaldehyde.

(D) Sandmeyer Reaction → (III) Chlorobenzene: Aryl diazonium salts (from anilines) react with CuCl (or similar copper(I) salts) to replace the diazonium group with chlorine, yielding chlorobenzene (or other aryl halides).
