Out of acetophenone and benzophenone, which gives iodoform test? Write the reaction involved. |
|
Answer» The compound should have CH3 CO-group to show the iodoform test. Acetophenone (C6H5 COCH3) contains the group CH3 CO attached to carbon and hence given iodoform test while benzophenone does not contain this group and hence does not give iodoform test. C6H5 COCH3 (Acetophenone) + 3I2 + 4 NaOH → CHI3 + C6 H5 COONa (Iodoform) + 3 NaI + 3 H2O C6 H5 COC6H5 + I2 + NaOH → No reaction Acetophenone will respond to iodoform test when treeated with I2/NaOH(aq) as it contains keto-methylje groupReaction CH3COC6H5+I2+NaOH-> CHI3+C6H5COONa+NaI+H2O |
