Which of the following alcohols is expected to give haloform test?

A1-Pentanol
B3-Pentanol
C2- Propanol
Correct Answer
DNone of above

Solution

2- Propanol $$ \displaystyle ( CH_3- \underset { \underset {\displaystyle OH}{|} }{C}H -CH_3 )$$ is expected to give haloform test as it can be easily oxidised to acetone $$ \displaystyle ( CH_3- \underset { \underset {\displaystyle O}{||} }{C} -CH_3 ) $$ that contains methyl keto group. Haloform test is given by compounds containing methyl keto group.
