Question

The compound that does not undergo haloform reaction is (A) CH 3 CHO (B) CH 3 CH 2 OH (C) CH 3 COCH 3 (D) C 2 H 5 COCH 2 CH 3

The Haloform reaction is given by aldehydes and ketones containing three α- H atoms and alcohols containing

group. In other words all the methyl ketones

and only acetaldehyde (ethanal) ( CH 3 CHO ) can give this test.

CH 3 CH 2 OH stackrel NaOH + I 2 longrightarrow CHI 3+ HCOO - C 2 H 5 COCH 2 CH 3 stackrel NaOH + I 2 longrightarrow does not give Haloform test.
