At higher temperature, iodoform reaction is given by the dilute solution of

Options

A. `CH_(3)CO_(2)CH_(3)`
B. `CH_(3)CO_(2)C_(2)H_(5)`
C. `C_(6)H_(5)CO_(2)CH_(3)`
D. `CH_(3)CO_(2)C_(6)H_(5)`

Answer

B

Explanation

Iodoform test is used for the identification of functionla groups like `CH_(3)-overset(O) overset(||)C- and CH_(3)-CH_(2)-overset(OH) overset(|)C-` in organic compunds, `CH_(3)COO_(2)H_(5)` upon hydrolysis at higher temperature yields `CH_(3)COOH and C_(2)H_(5) OH`.
lodofomr test is given by `C_(2)H_(5)OH`.
Thus, dilute soution of `CH_(3)CO_(2)C_(2)H_(5)` gives possitive iodoform test.
`underset("Ethyl ethanoate")(CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5)) overset(HOH) underset(Delta) to underset("Ethanoic acid") (CH_(3)COOH)+ underset("Ethanol")(C_(2)H_(5)OH)`
`C_(2) H_(5)OH+4l_(2)+3Na_(2)CO_(5) to underset(("yellow")) underset("lodoform")(CHl_(3)) darr +5Nal`
