Following compounds are given
(i) CH 3 CH 2 OH (ii) CH 3 COCH 3
(iii) 
(iv) CH 3 OH
Which of the above compound (s), on being warmed with iodine solution and NaOH, will give iodoform?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Compounds having either 
group or CH 3 CHOH – group, 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.)
