Which of the following will react with NaOINaOI?
A.
B.
C.
D.All

Explanation

Solution

NaOINaOI is known as sodium hypo iodide. It is formed by the reaction of I2{I_2} and NaOHNaOH used in the iodoform reaction. The alcohols, aldehydes and ketones containing CH3COC{H_3}COgroup react with NaOINaOI to form yellow precipitate of CHI3CH{I_3} which is called as iodoform. This reaction is used as a test for differentiating between different alcohols, aldehydes and ketones.

Complete answer:
If any molecule reacts with NaOINaOI it should have CH3COC{H_3}CO i.e. group and at the end of the reaction it will give CHI3CH{I_3} as a yellow precipitate. NaOINaOI takes part in a reaction as NaOHNaOH and I2{I_2}.
First let us look at basic reaction whereNaOINaOI will react with ( where R is any aromatic or aliphatic group)
The mechanism is as follows:

Now we can clearly see in the above mechanism how the CH3COC{H_3}CO group containing molecules is undergoing reaction and in the end CHI3CH{I_3} is produced.
So among our options we say that and will react with NaOINaOI to give the product as both the molecules contain CH3COC{H_3}CO group in their structure. Now let us look at the aromatic compound.
Here this molecule does not have any CH3COC{H_3}CO group in its structure so for knowing whether it will react with NaOINaOI or not we will have to look into its mechanism, which is as follows:

So in the above mechanism base will extract and then II will get attached to it twice, third time there is no HHleft so OH{}^ - OH will then act as nucleophile
We can see that the compound does not have any CH3COC{H_3}CO group but it still reacts with NaOINaOI to give CHI3CH{I_3}
Therefore all the above molecules will react with NaOINaOI.

Hence the correct option is D.D. All

Note:
Only those molecules will react with NaOINaOI which haveCH3COC{H_3}CO group in them and yield CHI3CH{I_3} as a precipitate. Even if the molecule does not haveCH3COC{H_3}CO, in some cases it may react with NaOINaOI and give the yellow precipitate as in the above case.
