Which is the most suitable reagent for the following conversion ?
`CH_(3)-CH=CH-CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-CH_(3)to`
`CH_(3)-CH=CH-CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-OH`

Options

A. Tollen’s reagent
B. Benzoyl peroxide
C. `I_(2)` and NaOH solution
D. Sn and NaOH solution

Answer

C

Explanation

Iodoform test is used to test presence of `−COCH_(3)` group which is converted into −COOH group. The reaction is shown as
`CH_(3)-CH=CH-CH_(2)- overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_(3) underset("Iodoform reaction")overset(I_(2)//"NaOH solution")to underset("Pent 3 en 1 oic acid ")(CH_(3)-CH= CH-CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)C-OH)`
