Iodine reacts in alkaline solution with methylene groups which contain a neighbouring hydroxyl or carbonyl group under the formation of triiodoalkanes. By the reaction with ethanol, one of the products is triiodomethane (iodoform), which precipitates out as a yellow solid: The differences between methanol and ethanol will be carried over to the experiment with longer-chain alcohols which follow (P7172100), so that the homologous series of the alkanes can be derived from the experimental data.
