    Which compound among the following give/s positive iodoform test? 1. Ethanol                            2. Ethanal 3. 1-butanol                        4. 2-butanol 5. Phenyl ethanal

    A)  1, 2 and 5           

    B)  1, 3 and 4

    C)  1, 2 and 3      

    D)         2, 4 and 5

    E)  1, 2 and 4

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Carbonyl compounds having\[C{{H}_{3}}CO\]group and alcohols having\[C{{H}_{3}}CH(OH)\]group undergo iodoform reaction. \[\underset{ethanol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,+4{{I}_{2}}+6NaOH\xrightarrow[{}]{\Delta }\] \[\underset{iodoform}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,+HCOONa+5NaI+5{{H}_{2}}O\] \[\underset{2-bu\tan ol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,+4{{I}_{2}}+6NaOH\xrightarrow[{}]{\Delta }\] \[\underset{iodoform}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,+C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COONa+5NaI+5{{H}_{2}}O\] \[\underset{ethanal}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CHO}}\,+3{{I}_{2}}+NaOH\xrightarrow{\Delta }\underset{iodoform}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,\] \[+HCOONa+3HI\]
