Which one of the following gives yellow precipitate with iodine and \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) solution?

  1. A \(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CHO}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{COC}_6 \mathrm{H}_5\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{HCHO}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CHO}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Alcohols containing \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH})-\) group and carbonyl compounds containing \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CO}-\) group give yellow precipitate with iodine and \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) solution. This reaction is called iodoform test. Thus,…
