AIIMS 2019 Chemistry Iodoform Test MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
reacts with to give a compound which gives the test with iodoform, then find out structure of A
A
B
C
D
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.
