    Which one of the following does not give iodoform?

    A)  

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}OH\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,C{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    The compounds having either\[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  |\,| \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\] group or\[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-\]group when treated with \[{{I}_{2}}\]and\[NaOH,\]give yellow precipitate of iodoform. \[\therefore \]\[C{{H}_{3}}OH\]does not give iodoform. Note: \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]is oxidized to\[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]and hence, give positive iodoform test.
