NEET2010ChemistryAldehydes and KetonesActual
Following compounds are given A. CH ₃ CH ₂ OH B. CH ₃ COCH ₃ C. D. CH ₃ OH Which of the above compound(s), on being warmed with iodine solution and NaOH , will give iodoform?
Options
- AA, C and D
- BOnly B
- CA, B and C
- DA and B
Correct answer
C. A, B and C
Step-by-step solution
Compounds having either group or CH ₃ CHOH - group, give iodoform when warmed with I ₂ and NaOH . Thus, give iodoform when warmed with I ₂ and NaOH . (Remember, NaOI oxidises CH ₃ CH ₂ OH to CH ₃ CHO , thus it gives positive iodoform test.)
