hydroxide to give yellow ppt of iodoform.

$CH _{3} CHO +3 I _{2}+3 NaOH \longrightarrow $

$Cl _{3} CHO +3 NaI +3 H _{2} O$

$Cl _{3} CHO + NaOH \longrightarrow \underset{\text { Iodoform }}{ CHI _{3}}+ HCOONa$

$CH _{3} COCH _{3}+3 I _{2}+3 NaOH \longrightarrow $

$Cl _{3} COCH _{3}+3 NaI +3 H _{2} O$

$Cl _{3} COH _{3}+ NaOH \longrightarrow \underset{\text { Iodoform }}{ CHI _{3}}+ CH _{3} COONa$
