Question

How many of the total number of compounds that gives positive iodoform test ? CH3CH2OH,PhCHO,CH3COCH3 ((CH)3)2CHOH,HCHO,(CH)3((CH)2)2(COCH)3 PhCH2OH,CH3CH2COPh (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)

Positive iodoform test is given by, i. alcohols containing overset|.((CH)3 - CH - OH) group. ii. acetaldehyde (the only aldehyde) and ketones containing ((CH)3 CO -) group. Thus (CH)3(CH)2OH,(CH)3(COCH)3,((CH)3)2CHOH,(CH)3((CH)2)2(COCH)3 will give positive iodoform test.
