Give the conversion of phenol to salicylic acid.
(N/A) This reaction is known as the $Kolbe-Schmidt$ reaction.
First,phenol reacts with sodium hydroxide $(NaOH)$ to form sodium phenoxide.
Sodium phenoxide is more reactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution than phenol.
It reacts with carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$,a weak electrophile,at high pressure and temperature to form sodium salicylate,which upon acidification yields salicylic acid $(o-hydroxybenzoic \ acid)$.
