Q. A compound undergoes the following reactions: (i) With saturated $ NaHS{{O}_{3}}, $ it gives a white precipitate. (ii) On reduction, it gives a secondary alcohol. (iii) With $ {{I}_{2}} $ sodium carbonate, it gives iodoform. The compound is:

JIPMERJIPMER 1997

Solution:

Acetone gives all the three reactions. It gives addition compound with sodium bisulphite and on reduction, it gives secondary propyl alcohol. With $ {{I}_{2}} $ and $ N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}, $ it gives yellow precipitate of iodoform. (Haloform reaction).
