    Which of the following compound gives iodoform 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 :

    Compounds containing\[\left( C{{H}_{3}}--\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-- \right)\]group give the iodoform test. \[C{{H}_{3}}--\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,--C{{H}_{3}}+3{{I}_{2}}+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\]\[\underset{Iodoform\,(yellow\,ppt)}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}+HCOONa+{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\] Hence only acetone gives the iodoform test.
