The reaction can be used to produce chloroform  (CHCl 3), bromoform  (CHBr 3), or 
iodoform  (CHI 3). Image:Haloform Reaction Scheme.
Kaynak: Haloform reactionThe 
iodoform test  uses an alkaline solution of iodine to react with methyl ketones to give the labile triiodomethide leaving group,
Kaynak: IodineBinion says that Hitler's mother was treated by a Jewish  doctor, Eduard Bloch , with the standard remedy of the time, 
iodoform .
Kaynak: Explaining HitlerAlthough commercially available, it can be prepared by reducing 
iodoform  with sodium arsenite : CHI 3 + Na 3 AsO 3 + NaOH → CH 2 I 2 + NaI
Kaynak: DiiodomethaneCI 4 is slightly reactive towards water, giving 
iodoform  and I 2.  Otherwise it is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents.  It decomposes
Kaynak: Carbon tetraiodideThey have a mild taste, but a strong smell of 
iodoform ; they are not edible .  The species grows on dead wood in autumn months, and can be
Kaynak: Mycena arcangelianaBromoform is one of the trihalomethanes, closely related with fluoroform , chloroform , and 
iodoform .  It is the main trihalomethane
Kaynak: BromoformIn the original 1986 publication the aldehyde is benzaldehyde  and the organochromium species is generated from 
iodoform  or bromoform
