Question

Iodoform reaction is given by:
(A). all methyl ketones with CH3CO group
(B). Acetaldehyde
(C). all secondary alcohols with CH3CH(OH) group
(D). all primary alcohols
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), and (D) only
• B. (A), (B), and (C) only
• C. (A), (B), (C), and (D)
• D. (B), (C), and (D) only

Hint:

The iodoform test is a qualitative test used to detect compounds with a methyl ketone group or a CH3 group attached to the carbonyl.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Methyl ketones containing the \( CH_3CO \) group, acetaldehyde, and secondary alcohols featuring the \( CH_3CH(OH) \) group undergo the iodoform reaction.
