    Iodoform test is used to check the presence of carbonyl compounds with the structure R-CO-CH3 or alcohols with the structure R-CH(OH)-CH3 in a given unknown substance. The reaction of iodine, a base and a methyl ketone gives a yellow precipitate along with an “antiseptic” smell.

    If a compound contains a methyl keto group (CH3​CO) or a group that can be easily oxidized to methyl keto group, then it will give  yellow precipitate of iodoform when heated with iodine and alkali. If such a group is absent, then no ppt will be obtained.
