The compound which does not respond to iodoform test is
Solution
The compound that does not respond to the iodoform test is \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CO}-\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\). This is because the iodoform test is specific to methyl ketones (compounds with the structure \(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CO}-\mathrm{CH}_3\)), which undergo oxidation in the presence of iodine and a base to produce iodoform (\(\mathrm{CHI} 3)\). Other types of ketones, such as the one given, do not undergo this reaction.
