Question

Among the following the one that gives positive iodoform test upon reaction with I 2 and NaOH is, CH 3 CH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 CH 3, C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 OH, PhCHOHCH 3, CH 3 CH(CH 2 OH)CH 3

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Iodoform test is given by only the compounds containing CH 3 CO - or CH 3 CHOH - group. Ph CH OH CH 3 + 4 I 2 + 6 NaOH ⟶ Δ CHI 3 + PhCOONa + 5 NaI + 5 H 2 O
