Which of the following compounds can be distinguished from iodoform test? Correct Answer Acetophenone and benzophenone

Iodoform test involves the reaction of a compound with sodium hypoiodite to detect the presence of CH3CO or CH3CH(OH) group. A positive test forms CHI3 (iodoform) in the form of a yellow precipitate. Acetaldehyde and acetophenone give yellow ppt in this test, whereas formaldehyde, benzophenone and benzaldehyde do not undergo this test due to the absence of CH3CO group in their structures.
