CHCl₃

It involves two steps: CaOCl₂(Bleaching powder) + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + Cl₂ . (i)Chlorination of acetone to form trichloroacetone. CH₃COCH₃ + 3Cl₂ → CCl₃COCH₃ + 3HCl. (ii) Trichloroacetone is hydrolysed by Ca(OH)₂ present in bleaching powder to give chloroform. 2CCl₃COCH₃ + Ca(OH)₂ → 2CHCl₃(Chloroform) + (CH₃COO)₂Ca(Calcium acetate).
