Iodoform test
« on: March 30, 2014, 06:45:09 PM »
Hi! I have a big problem, I been looking for the reactions that happen in the iodoformo test.
I put lugol (I + KI) and ethyl alcohol, then I add 3 drops of NaOH.

Can you tell me please the reactions? I need this, it is urgent... :-[ :-\

What other resources have you consulted?

This is a reaction which appears in most organic chemistry textbooks.
