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