Out of acetophenone and benzophenone, which gives iodoform test? Write the reaction involved.

Answer»

Solution :Acetophenone `(C_(6)H_(5)COCH_(3))` contains the GROUP `CH_(3)CO` attached to carbon and hence gives iodoform test while benzophenone does not contain this group and hence does not give idoform test.
`underset("Acetopheone")(C_(6)H_(5)COCH_(3))+3I_(2)+4NaOH underset("Iodoform")(CHI_(3)) + underset("Sod. benzoate")(C_(6)H_(5)COONa)+3NaI+3H_(2)O`
`underset("Benzophenone")(C_(6)H_(5)COC_(6)H_(5)) overset(I_(2)//NAOH)to ` No reaction.
