Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Among \[{{1}^{o}}\] alcohol only ethanol is able to give yellow colour iodoform when treated with \[{{I}_{2}}\] and \[NaOH\]. \[\underset{ethyl\,alcohol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,+\underset{iodine}{\mathop{4{{I}_{2}}}}\,+6NaOH\xrightarrow{\Delta }\] \[\underset{iodoform}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,+5Nal+HCOONa+5{{H}_{2}}O\] This test is called iodoform test.You need to login to perform this action.
