The correct Answer is:
To determine which compound can prepare Iodoform, we need to analyze the given alcohols based on the presence of the required structural feature. Iodoform can be formed from alcohols that have a methyl group (CH3) adjacent to the carbon bearing the hydroxyl group (OH). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Required Structure**: - Iodoform can be prepared from alcohols that have the structure CH3-CHOH- (where CH3 is adjacent to the carbon with the OH group). 2. **Analyze Each Compound**: - **Compound 1: Isoamyl Alcohol** - Structure: CH3-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH2OH - Analysis: There is no methyl group adjacent to the OH group. Therefore, it cannot form Iodoform. - **Compound 2: Alpha Phenyl Ethanol** - Structure: C6H5-CH(OH)-CH3 - Analysis: There is a methyl group adjacent to the OH group. Therefore, it can form Iodoform. - **Compound 3: Isobutyl Alcohol** - Structure: (CH3)2CH-CH2OH - Analysis: There is no methyl group adjacent to the OH group. Therefore, it cannot form Iodoform. - **Compound 4: Beta Phenyl Ethanol** - Structure: C6H5-CH2-CH(OH)-CH3 - Analysis: The methyl group is not adjacent to the OH group (it is on the beta carbon). Therefore, it cannot form Iodoform. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only compound that can form Iodoform is **Alpha Phenyl Ethanol** (Option B). ### Final Answer: The compound from which Iodoform can be prepared is **Alpha Phenyl Ethanol (Option B)**.
