Which of the following precisely defined specific functional group structural motifs will definitively securely test perfectly positive in the standard alkaline iodoform chemical reaction?

Question

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A,B. The iodoform reaction accurately and strictly specifically tests positive exclusively for organic compounds completely securely containing the methyl ketone group () directly, or secondary alcohols containing the group, which are rapidly oxidized heavily in situ perfectly to methyl ketones by the active halogenating agent. Options C and D completely cleanly lack these required structural features.
