Question
At higher temperature iodoform reaction is given by the dilute solution of
Options
A.CH3CO2CH3
B.CH3CO2C2H5
C.CH3CO2C6H5
D.C2H5CO2CH3
Solution
Formation of iodform is commonly used as a test for alchols having- CH(OH)CH3 grouping, acetaaldehyde and ketones having at least one alkyl group as methyl group, i.e. fordetecting the presence of-CHOH, CH; COCH3 and CH3CHO. The esters (as given in the options)are hydrolysed into alcohots or acids.
CH3COOCH2H5
CH3COOH + C2H5OH
Hence it will not give iodorform test.
CH3COOCH2H5
CH3COOH + C2H5OHHence it will not give iodorform test.
