Which fo the following statements regarding chemical properties of acetophenone are wrong ?
I. It is reduced to methyl phenyl carbinol by sodium acid and ethanol
II. It is oxidised to benzoic acid with acidified `KMnO_(4)`
III. It does not undergo electrophilic substitution like nitration at meta position ltbr. IV. It does not undergo iodoform reaction with iodine and alkali.

I and II

B

II and IV

C

III and IV

D

I and III

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
Acetophenone is `CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)C-ph`. It has `alpha` -H so undergoes Aldol. It has `CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)C-` group so undergoes Iodoform .
