Give reason on one or two sentances for the following: Iodoform is obtained by the reaction of acetone with hypoiodote but not with iodode |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Hypoiodite acts as an oxidising agent and this reaction is initiated by the replacement of methyl protons by `I^(o+)`. Moreover, hypoiodite ion `(OI^(ɵ))` acts as a base to ABSTRACT methyl proton, while `I^(ɵ)` is a WEAK base (but strong nucleophile) and cannot abstract methyl proton. `Me-CO-CH_(3)+3overset(ɵ)(O)Irarr Me-CO-CI_(3)+3overset(ɵ)(O)H` |
