The haloform reaction is a chemical reaction where a haloform (CHX3, where X is a halogen) is produced by the exhaustive halogenation of methyl aldehyde (acetaldehyde) or a methyl ketone.

Haloform Reaction:
When a methyl ketone (even acetaldehyde) is reacted with halogen in aqueous sodium hydroxide, the ketone gets oxidised to the sodium salt of acid with one carbon less than ketone and at the same time haloform (CHX3) also gets formed.
2NaOH+X2→SodiumhalideNaX+SodiumhypohaliteNaOX
MethylketoneRCOCH3+3NaOX→RCOONa+HaloformCHX3+2NaOH
