Among the following the one that gives positive iodoform test upon reaction with I 2 and NaOH is
Options
- ACH 3 CH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 CH 3
- BC 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 OH
- CPhCHOHCH 3
- DCH 3 CH(CH 2 OH)CH 3
Correct answer
C. PhCHOHCH 3
Step-by-step solution
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
