Chloroform reacts with aqueous sodium phenoxide only very slowly at 35, but in the presence of sodium hydroxide it reacts rapidly to give o-and£-hydroxybenzaldehydes (the Reimer-Tiemanu reaction). This observation shows thatthe Reimer-Tiemann reaction is not initiated by the nucleophilic attack of phenoxide ion on chloroform. The reaction instead appears to involve the reaction of chloroform with hydroxide ion to give dichloromethylene which then reacts with phenoxide ion. From the effect of sodium phenoxide concentration on the yields of aldehydes, the relative rate constant for the com-bination of dichloromethylene with theoxygen atom as well as the o-and^-carbon atoms of the phenoxide ion may be calculated (relative to the rate constant for combination with water).
