CO2 acts as electrophile in which reaction?
Williamson's reaction
Kolbe reaction
Perkin's reaction
Reimer-Tiemann reaction
B.
Kolbe reaction
The Kolbe-Schmidt reaction or Kolbe reaction is a carboxylation chemical reaction that proceeds by heating sodium phenolate with carbon dioxide tinder pressure (100 atm, 125°C), then treating the product with sulphuric acid. The final product is salicylic acid, which is the precursor of aspirin (analgesic).
It proceeds via the nucleophile addition of a phenolate to carbon dioxide to give the salicylate. In this reaction, CO2 act as an electrophile. The final step is reaction of salicylate with acid to form desired salicylic acid.
