What is the mechanism of Reimer tiemann reaction when we use ccl4 in place of chcl3?

The Reimer Tiemann reaction wil not proceed as normal if we use tetrachloromethane; the usual mechanism involves deprotonation of chloroform followed by loss of a chloride ion from the anion to yield dichlorocarbene. With no hydrogens to be removed, tetrachloromethane will not do this.
It is, however, conceivable that dichlorocarbene could be generated from CCl4 by reaction with zinc, leading to a pseudo-Reimer-Tiemman reaction.

What is riemen-tiemen reaction?
Riemen Tiemen is the reaction certin reagent are used (CHCl3 and NaOH) to produce dichlorocarben (CCl3) which is an electrophile (negatively charged) ..... this enters on a benzene ring which through a mechanism of formation of diols (2 OH groups) and removal of water... you get the final product which is aldehyde (CHO)

What is the Semi structural formula for the product of the reaction between chlorine and methane?
Just replace one H and add a Cl (CH3Cl). In the next step replace another H by Cl. It's a chain reaction under sunlight: CH4+Cl2=CH3Cl+HCl CH3Cl+Cl2=CHCl2+HCL CH2Cl+Cl2=CHCl3+HCl CHCl3+Cl2=CCl4+HCl I'm sure now the structural formula will be apiece of cake.
