Q38 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2018 (25 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

The compound which does not respond to iodoform test is

  • A
    CH3-CHO
  • B
    CH3CHOHCH3
  • Correct answer
    C
    C2H5-CO-C2H5
  • D
    C6H5COCH3

Solution

Iodoform test is given compounds have either CH3-CO- group or CH3-CHOH- group.

The reagents of the iodoform test:

1 I2+NaOH2 I2+OH-3 NaOI

Thus, CH3-CHO, CH3-CHOH-CH3 and C6H5COCH3 give positive iodoform when warmed with I2+NaOH and C2H5-CO-C2H5 does not respond to the iodoform test.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
