Ques. 1AIPMT 2004

Which one of the following will not form a yellow precipitate on heating with an alkaline solution of iodine?

  1. CH3CH(OH)CH3
  2. CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3
  3. CH3OH
  4. CH3CH2OH

Answer

(3) CH3OH

Solution

The yellow precipitate is iodoform, CHI3. As per NCERT, alcohols having the CH3-CH(OH)- group (oxidised by I2/NaOH to CH3CO-) give the iodoform test.

(1) CH3CH(OH)CH3 — has CH3CH(OH)- ⇒ positive

(2) CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3 — has CH3CH(OH)- ⇒ positive

(4) CH3CH2OH — has CH3CH(OH)- (with H) ⇒ positive

(3) CH3OH — no CH3-CH(OH) unit ⇒ no iodoform

Answer: (3)
