Question

lodoform test is not answered by:

$C{{H}_{3}}OH$

${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH$

$C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}$

$C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\\ OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,C{{H}_{3}}$

Answer

$C{{H}_{3}}OH$

Explanation

Solution

Only those compound give lodoform test which has $CH_3\overset{\underset{|}{O}H}{C}H-$ or $CH_3\overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C}-$ group. Hence, Methonal does not give lodoform test.
