        Which of the following will not give a positive iodoform test?

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CHOHC{{H}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]

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

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}CO{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: Iodoform test is positive for compounds which have\[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,\]group or\[2{}^\circ \] alcohol group. (a) \[\underset{has\text{ }2{}^\circ \text{ }alcoholic\text{ }group}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]  (b)\[\underset{has\text{ }C{{H}_{3}}COC(-)\text{ }group}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  |\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]  (d)\[\underset{has\text{ }C{{H}_{3}}CO(-)\text{ }group}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  |\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,\] \[\therefore \] compounds in choice  (a), (b)  and (d) give positive iodoform test. \[\underset{(c)}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  |\,\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[\because \]This compound does not have\[C{{H}_{3}}CO(-)\] or \[2{}^\circ \]alcoholic group. \[\therefore \]It does not give positive iodoform test.
