Q. Iodoform test is not given by

AIPMTAIPMT 1998Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

lodoform test is given by compounds that have ( $CH 3- CO -)$.
Hence, Pentan-$2$-one, $CH _3 CHO$ and $C _2 H_ 5 OH$ give this test. But Pentan-$3$-one
( $CH _3 CH_ 2 COCH _2 CH_3$ ) does not give iodoform test.
