Question

Which among the following compounds give yellow solid when reacted with NaOI/NaOH?
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (B), (C) and (E) Only
• B. (A) and (C) Only
• C. (C) and (D) Only
• D. (A), (C) and (D) Only

Hint:

The reaction of alcohols with NaOI/NaOH often leads to yellow solid formation due to iodine complexation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

When alcohols are reacted with NaOI/NaOH, a yellow solid is produced due to the formation of iodine complexes. 
Upon examining the compounds: 
- (A) \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CH}_2 \text{C}_2 \text{H}_5 \) (an alcohol) reacts with NaOI/NaOH, producing a yellow solid. 
- (B) \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CH}_2 \text{C}_2 \text{H}_2 \text{OH} \) (an alcohol) reacts with NaOI/NaOH, producing a yellow solid. 
- (C) \( \text{CH}_3 \text{C}_2 \text{H}_5 \) (an aldehyde) does not react with NaOI/NaOH to produce a yellow solid. 
- (D) \( \text{CH}_3 \text{OH} \) does not react with NaOI/NaOH to form a yellow solid. 
- (E) \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CH}_2 \text{H} \) does not react with NaOI/NaOH to form a yellow solid. 
Thus, the correct answer is (2).
