Carbonyl compound having $-C(=O)-CH_3$ group

(A) The haloform reaction is a characteristic test for methyl ketones (compounds containing the $-C(=O)-CH_3$ group) and secondary alcohols containing the $CH_3-CH(OH)-$ group.When these compounds react with a halogen in the presence of an aqueous base,they undergo oxidation and cleavage to form a haloform ($CHX_3$,where $X = Cl, Br, I$) and a salt of a carboxylic acid.
