AIIMS 2019 Chemistry Iodoform Test MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

C7H10O\text{C}_7\text{H}_{10}\text{O} reacts with CH3MgBr\text{CH}_3\text{MgBr} to give a compound C8H14O\text{C}_8\text{H}_{14}\text{O} which gives the test with iodoform, then find out structure of A

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Option C is correct because the compound reacts with the Grignard reagent to form a ketone that contains a methyl group adjacent to a carbonyl group, which is necessary for the iodoform test. This test is positive for compounds with the structure RCOCH₃, indicating the presence of a methyl ketone. Other options are not applicable as they do not lead to the formation of a compound that meets the criteria for the iodoform test, which specifically requires the presence of a methyl group next to the carbonyl carbon.
