Abstract
In contrast to results in the literature reported by Hodgson and Jenkinson the Reimer-Tiemann reaction of m-bromophenol yielded four products. Three of these were shown unambiguously to be 2-bromo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 4-, and 6-bromosalicylaldehydes. The other product was assigned to be bromoformylhydroxybenzaldehyde.
