Question

Which of the following statements is correct?
A. The haloform reaction proceeds under very difficult conditions and the yield is very low.
B. The haloform reaction is used only for the identification of compounds containing secondary alcohol groups.
C. Methyl ketones or alcohols are oxidized by halogens in acidic solutions to give carboxylic acids and the corresponding haloform product.
D. Enolate anions react rapidly with halogens to give alpha-halocarbonyl compounds.

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C = O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in ketones is placed somewhere in the middle of the molecular structure, which means, the C=O is attached to two alkyl groups or benzene rings. Just like all other homologous series, the naming of ketones is done using a common suffix “-one”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O. Functional group of a ketone
