The number of molecules which gives haloform test among the following molecules is _____.
Show Answer
Answer: (3)
Solution:
Formula: The haloform test is a chemical reaction used to identify methyl ketones or alcohols that can be oxidized to methyl ketones. Compounds that contain the structure $CH_3C=O$ or can form this structure upon oxidation will generally give a positive haloform test.
Let’s identify the types of compounds that typically give a positive haloform test:
Methyl Ketones: Compounds with the structure $R−COCH_3$.
Ethanol and Secondary Alcohols: Certain alcohols (like ethanol and secondary alcohols with a methyl group adjacent to the hydroxyl group) that can be oxidized to methyl ketones.
In the given question 1, 3 and 5 give positive iodoform test.
