What are the intermediate products involved in the following reaction?
CHCl34OH−−−−−→HCOO−+3Cl−+2H2O
In this Reaction , CHCl3 reacts with hydroxide ion ( OH− )
CHCl3 + OH− ⟶ CCl3−
And when one chlorine is eliminated then Carbene is formed.
CCl3− ⟶ : CCl2 (carbene )
Here, two intermediates formed in this reaction , CCl3− and : CCl2 .
Since, Option A and B are correct.
