Question

Which of the following shows chloroform reaction? (A)  CH3CHOHCH3 (B) Methanol (C) n-butanol (D) None of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Haloform reaction is given by the compounds which either have - COCH 3 group or give this group on oxidation. CH 3- CHOH - CH 3 (propanol-2) on oxidation give acetone ( CH 3 COCH 3) which give haloform reaction. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/3a78baea30cb20782afdbf7cab389153-.png" />

Q. Which of the following shows chloroform reaction?

$C H_{3} C H O H C H_{3}$

Methanol

n-butanol

None of the above

Haloform reaction is given by the compounds which either have $- COC H_{3}$ group or give this group on oxidation.
$C H_{3} - C H O H - C H_{3}$ (propanol- $2$ ) on oxidation give acetone $(C H_{3} COC H_{3})$ which give haloform reaction.
