    Which one of the following does not undergo iodoform reaction?

    A)  Secondary butyl alcohol

    B)  Iso-propyl alcohol

    C)  Diethyl ketone

    D)  Ethyl alcohol

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     lodoform reaction is given by only those compounds that have either \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,=O\]or \[C{{H}_{3}}\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,H-OH\]group,   \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (sec-butyl\,alcohol\,gives\, \\  idoform\,reaction) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\underset{OH}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,HC{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]     \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (iso-propyl\,alcohol\, \\  gives\,iodoform\,reaction) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{OH}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,H}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]  \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{diethyl}\,\text{keton}(does\,not \\  \,give\,iodoform\,reaction) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,\]   \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{ethyl}\,\text{alcohol} \\  (gives\,iodoform\,reaction) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}\underset{OH}{\overset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,}}}\,H}}\,\]
