Amongst the following compounds, the one which would not respond to iodoform test is
- A \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}\)
- B \(\mathrm{ICH}_{2} \mathrm{COCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}\)
- C \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\)
- D \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Acetic acid, \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\) would not respond to iodoform test. In the mechanism of haloform reaction, in the first step, base deprotonates most acidic alpha \(\mathrm{H}\) atom (of methyl keto group). In acetic acid, the most acidic proton is attached to…
