MCQ
Which of the following statement is wrong :
  • A
    All carbonyl compounds of the general structure $\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
      {C{H_3} - C - R} \\ 
      {\,\,\,\,\,||} \\ 
      {\,\,\,\,O} 
    \end{array}$ give a positive iodoform test
  • All secondary alcohols give iodoform reaction
  • C
    Alkanols of the structure $CH_3CH(OH) -R$ (where $R = H,$ alkyl or aryl) give iodoform reaction.
  • D
    The only aldehyde giving iodoform reaction is acetaldehyde.

Answer

Correct option: B.
All secondary alcohols give iodoform reaction
b
Any compound which gives chloroform test should contain the $CH _3 CO$ - group in its structure.

So, only aldehyde (RCHO) giving iodoform reaction is acetaldehyde $\left( CH _3 CHO \right)$

Alcohols of the structure $CH _3 CH ( OH ) R$ give iodoform reaction, as, on oxidation, it is converted into $CH _3 COR$.

But other $2^{\circ}$ alcohols will not give this test.
