+solved @user1 @user2...
to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.A?
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
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
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
I think NO2 does nothing but make the reaction easier
but iodoform will not form
'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
Couldn't find an attached image in the last 10 messages.

@Enamine sorry for the uhh lovely handwriting
so yeah reaction does take place but CHI3 doesnt form
Ohhh yeah
Sorry sorry
I was seeing an extra carbon in my head 😭🙏
I thought it's CH2-CH2-NO2
ahh
So I was thinking of the reaction to take place on the other side
ye then toh it wouldve formed
'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
THANKS
I LOVE U SO MUCH
I WAS STUCK ON THIS FOR SO LONG
ILY ALL THNX
oh i was doing it all wrong wow thnx so much enamine
Not a problem:)
solve ho gya to close kardo
Yupp
Can we close this cuties
You’re the one who’s gonna close cutie:)
💔 how do i
