Named Organic Reactions
- Kolbe's Reaction: Sodium phenoxide reacts with $CO_2$ followed by acidification to produce Salicylic acid.
- Reimer-Tiemann Reaction: Phenol treated with $CHCl_3$ and aqueous $NaOH$ introduces a $-CHO$ group ortho to $-OH$, forming Salicylaldehyde.
- Williamson Ether Synthesis: Nucleophilic $S_N2$ displacement of sodium alkoxide on primary alkyl halide:
$$R-ONa + R'-X \rightarrow R-O-R' + NaX$$
