Give reason in one or two sentence:
Iodoform is obtained by the reaction of acetone with hydpoiodite but not with iodide

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The formation of `CHl_(3)` takes place as follows:
`CH_(3)COCH_(3)overset(Ol^(o+))rarrCH_(3)COCl_(3)overset(OH^(o+))rarrCH_(3)COO^(-)+CHI_(3)`
`I^(-)` cannot bring about this reaction. The active species is `Ol^(-)` is an oxidant and an iodinating agent.
