    Which of the following compound gives iodo form test?

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}CN\]            

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}OH\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]       

    D)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Key Idea: The   compounds   containing \[C{{H}_{3}}\text{ }\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,\]group give positive iodoform test. \[C{{H}_{3}}CN,\text{ }C{{H}_{3}}OH\]and\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]do not give iodoform test because they don't have \[C{{H}_{3}}\text{ }\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,\]group. Only\[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\] (acetone) gives positive iodoform test as it contains\[C{{H}_{3}}CO\]group. \[\underset{Acetone}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}}}\,+3{{I}_{2}}+NaOH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Iodoform \\  (yellow\text{ }coloured  \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,solid) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,\] \[+\text{ }HCOONa+{{H}_{2}}O\]
