You produce potassium or sodium formate. Chloroform loses an H and a Cl yielding the highly reactive Dichlorocarbene (:CCl2) intermediate. Hydration rapidly ensues.

Well, likely, you will form [math] ext{dichlorocarbene}[/math]…
[math]HCCl_{3} + KOH ightarrow :CCl_{2} + H_{2}O + KCl[/math]
And the carbene is a POTENT electrophile …. and will react with olefins to give a three-membered ring.
