    Acetone reacts with iodine to form iodoform in the presence of

    A)  \[CaC{{O}_{3}}\]                             

    B)  \[NaOH\]

    C)  \[KOH\]                              

    D)  \[MgC{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,}}\,+3{{I}_{2}}+4NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[\underset{iodoform}{\mathop{CH{{I}_{3}}}}\,+\underset{sod.\,\,acetate}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-ONa}}\,+\underset{sodium\,iodide}{\mathop{3NaI+3{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\] Therefore, acetone and iodine react in presence of \[NaOH\].
