I have no clue I need an explanation

Do you know the mechanism of Iodoform reaction?

Our sir didn't teach us that😭 I need iodo form ka mechanism cuz everything online is too confusing + how to solve this

Real potato2mo ago
Well this que can be done even without knowing the mechanism but i dont want to introduce the shortcut in the first place You can look up for mechanism online na? Also is this a single correct ? Cause ig there are two correct answers
A
AOP2mo ago
Single correct answers OK I'll look at the mechanism

uhh oky but check it once cause i feel option 1 and 2 both should be the ans @Enamine can u confirm this please

Mujhe bhi yahi laga lol But I suppose th3 no2 group is playing spoil sport somehow?

I feel like both A and C could give the test

maybe making the hydrogen just next to it more likely to be taken off

Notice B guys When oxidised It would form a beta keto acid That will readily decarboxylate Ahmm but still there would be that keto group okay

there might be some ambiguity in this que then

haan yes so no chi3 will be formed but CHI2NO2 (would take up H+) would potentially be precipitated..so no iodoform
Varun_Arora
Varun_Arora2mo ago
I think NO2 does nothing but make the reaction easier
iwishforchristmas
but iodoform will not form
Varun_Arora
Varun_Arora2mo ago
'cause it increases the electrophilic character Of that ketone Ahmm why not? How would OH- interacte with NO2 There is not really a site it can attack at 'cause there is already a ketone in the vicinity Which would be preferred over the NO2 anyday

@Enamine sorry for the uhh lovely handwriting so yeah reaction does take place but CHI3 doesnt form

Varun_Arora2mo ago
Ohhh yeah Sorry sorry I was seeing an extra carbon in my head 😭🙏 I thought it's CH2-CH2-NO2
iwishforchristmas
ahh
Varun_Arora
Varun_Arora2mo ago
So I was thinking of the reaction to take place on the other side
iwishforchristmas
ye then toh it wouldve formed
Varun_Arora
Varun_Arora2mo ago
'cause the essential driving parameter here is ppt formation So A isn't correct okay Ayo B isn't correct too then OH- takes away the proton from COOH Then ahmm COO- is a +I group It would decrease the acidity Of the adjoining carbon Uhhh Let me get myself awake for dekhta hun Actually I didn't even wash my face yet @iwishforchristmas Will look both the questions up in a bit

damn okk thx

This is the problem with A and B Such problem doesn’t arise in the case of C Hence C should be the answer
