NEET · Chemistry · STD 12 - 7. Alcohol, phenol and ethers

Number of isomeric alcohols of molecular formula \(C_6H_{14}O\) which give positive iodoform test is

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The iodoform test is positive for alcohols with formula \(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CHOH}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\). Among \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{14} \mathrm{O}\) isomers, the ones with posith positive iodoform test are: \(I.\)  \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CHOH}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\) -\(2-\)Hexanol
