Which of the following does not given yellow soild on treatment with sodium hypoiodite?
Options
- AAcetophenone
- BPentan – 3 – one
- CPentan – 2 –one
- DEthanal
Correct answer
B. Pentan – 3 – one
Step-by-step solution
Pentan – 3 – one does not give yellow solid on treatment with sodium hypoiodite because this reaction is given by only methyl ketones. Ketones that have at least one methyl group linked to the carbonyl carbon atom are oxidised by sodium hypoiodite to sodium salts of corresponding carboxylic acids. This reaction is called iodoform reaction.
