How can explain that 1, 3, 5-Trihydroxybenzene give positive iodoform test?

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 is glycerol obtained from propene?

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.
