Question

To perform iodoform reaction with ethanol
Chemical required, reaction, mechanism procedure

Answer 1

Answer:

Ethanol is the only primary alcohol to give the triiodomethane (iodoform)reaction. If "R" is a hydrocarbon group, then you have a secondary alcohol. Lots of secondary alcohols give thisreaction, but those that do all have a methyl group attached to the carbon with the -OH group.
