    Which one of the following does not undergo iodoform reaction?

    A)  Secondary butyl alcohol

    B)  Iso-propyi alcohol

    C)  Diethyl ketone   

    D)  Ethyl alcohol

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    lodoform reaction is given by only those compounds that have either\[C{{H}_{3}}\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,=O\]or\[C{{H}_{3}}\overset{|}{\mathop{CH}}\,OH\,group.\]  \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,(sec-butyl\text{ }alcohol \\  gives\text{ }iodoform\text{ }reaction) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,(iso-propyl\text{ }alcohol \\  gives\text{ }iodoform\text{ }reaction) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]  \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,diethyl\text{ }ketone \\  (does\text{ }not\text{ }give\text{ }iodoform  \\  reaction) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  |\,| \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,\]  \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,ethyl\text{ }alcohol \\  (gives\text{ }iodoform\text{ }reaction) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  CH \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH}}}\,}}\,\]
