Which of the following compounds will give haloform test?

Answer»

`CH_(3)COCH_(2)l`
`CH_(3)-CHCl-CH_(3)`
`C_(6)H_(5)COCH_(3)`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)Br`

Solution :`CH_(3)COCH_(2)lunderset(NaOH)overset(l_(2))toCH_(3)`
`C_(6)H_(6)COCH_(3)underset(NaOH)overset(l_(2))toCHl_(3)`
Under the basic conditions of the REACTION, both `CH_(3)CHClCH_(3)andCH_(3)CH_(2)Br` will further undergo hydrolysis to GIVE `CH_(3)CHOHCH_(3)andCH_(3)CH_(2)OH` respectively which will give iodoform test.
