Chemistry - Carbonyl compounds Question with Solution | TestHub

Compounds having either
group or ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHOH}-$ group, give iodoform when warmed with ${\mathrm{I}}_2$ and $\mathrm{NaOH}$. Thus, compounds
give iodoform when heated with ${\mathrm{I}}_2$ and $\mathrm{NaOH}$. (Note: $\mathrm{NaOI}$ oxidises ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{OH}$ to ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHO}$, and gives positive iodoform test.)
