`C_3 H_6 O` did not give a silver mirror with Tollens’ reagent, but gave an oxime with hydroxylamine. It can give positive iodoform test Fehling's test Schiff's test Carbylamine test

Options

A. iodoform test
B. Fehling's test
C. Schiff's test
D. Carbylamine test

Answer

A

Explanation

Since `C_3H_6O` forms an oxime with hydroxylamine, it must be an aldehyde ora ketone. Since it does not give silver mirror test, it must be a ketone, i.e., `CH_3COCH_3`. Since it is methyl ketone, therefore, it gives iodoform test.
