Question

At higher temperature, iodoform reaction is given by

$CH _{3} CO _{2} CH _{3}$

$CH _{3} CO _{2} C _{2} H _{5}$

$C _{6} H _{5} CO _{2} CH _{3}$

$CH _{3} CO _{2} C _{6} H _{5}$

Answer

$CH _{3} CO _{2} C _{2} H _{5}$

Explanation

Solution

Only $CH_3COOC_2H_5$ will give ethanol, $C_2H_5OH$ after hydrolysis (which can give positive iodoform test). ${CH3COOCH3 -> CH3COOH + CH3OH}$ ${CH3COOC2H5 -> CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH}$ ${C6H5COOCH3 -> C6H5COOH + CH3OH}$ ${ CH3COOC6H5-> CH3COOH + C6H5OH}$
