Q2
Phenol reacts with sodium hydroxide to give sodium phenoxide. Phenoxide ion undergoes electrophilic substitution with carbon dioxide ( a weak electrophile) because phenoxide ion is more reactive than phenol. Salicylic acid is formed as a major product. At lower temperature ortho isomer predominant, whereas para isomer is obtained at a higher temperature. Give the reason behind it.
