Answer: A, C
A positive test needs CHX3−COX− attached to H or C, or a CHX3−CH(OH)X− group that hypoiodite oxidises to it. 1-Phenylethan-1-ol is CX6HX5CH(OH)CHX3 and ethanal is CHX3CHO. Pentan-3-one has CHX3CHX2−COX− (no methyl on the carbonyl) and 2-methylpropan-1-ol is a primary alcohol with no CHX3CH(OH) unit.
