  2. B
    Reimer-Tiemann reaction
  3. C
    Cannizzaro reaction
  4. D
    Wurtz reaction

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

- Wurtz: R-R formation (C-C bond).Friedel-Crafts: C-Acyl/Alkyl on ring (C-C bond).Reimer-Tiemann: CHO group on ring (C-C bond).Cannizzaro: Disproportionation of aldehydes lacking -H into an alcohol and a salt of carboxylic acid. No new C-C bond is formed.
