Q. Which of the following compounds does NOT undergo haloform reaction?

MHT CETMHT CET 2018Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Haloform reaction is used to identify

aldehydes and ketones containing at least one

(Me) group linked to C atom of image group

Alcohols containing image group are also

oxidised by haloform reaction

This reaction is given by the following compounds

(i) $CH_{3}CH_2OH$

(ii) image $(2^{\circ}$ alcohol with $—OH$ at $ C _{2})$

(iii) image (Compound with $CH_3CO$ — group)

(iv) $CH_3CHO$

Thus, according to the options given, option ‘c’,

i.e., image

will not undergo haloform reaction.
