Q. Which of the following gives iodoform test?
A) $CH_{3} - \ CH_{2}\ (OH)$
B) $C_{2}H_{5}CHO$
C) $\left( CH_{2}OH \right)_{2}$
D) None of the above
Explanation
(a)
The iodoform test is given by compounds which have
O OH
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \parallel \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |$
$CH_{3} - C - or\ \ CH_{3} - CH -$ group.
In this given compounds only $CH_{3}CH_{2}\ OH$ gives positive iodoform test as it has $CH - CH -$ group.
