1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene give positive
iodoform test because it is in equilibrium with its tautomer
cyclohexane-1,3,5-trione. It give 3,5-dioxohexanoic acid (CH3-CO-CH2-CO-CH2-COOH)
on reaction with strong base (OH-) (I2+NaOH Iodoform reagent)
,which has a CH3-CO (acetyl) group, so it’ clear that it would be
give positive iodoform test.

How can you convert glycerol into Acrolein?
When Glycerol treated with dehydrating agents like H2SO4,
P2O5 or KHSO4 then it undergoes dehydration
and remove all the water molecules to give unsaturated Aldehyde named Acrolein.

What is the product formed when glycerol react with Excess HI?
Reaction of glycerol with limited amount of warmed HI gives allyl iodide.
While in the presence of excess
amount of HI, then allyl iodide reduced
to propene, which further reacts with HI and forms isopropyle iodide.
