  Enolization
In reaction 4, each of the three hydrogens on the methyl group attached to the carbonyl carbon is replaced by an iodine atom.
This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the enolate ion acts as a nucleophile and displaces a bromide ion from the dibromine.
In the iodoform reaction, the exchange of the three methyl hydrogens for iodine atoms produces a triiodomethylketone.

 Reaction dynamics
The main goal with this project is to characterize how elementary steps of chemical reactions in the condensed phase are influenced by solvent interactions with reactants and intermediates as well as by the intramolecular properties of these.
To be able to study reaction dynamics in real time it is essential to have means to initiate and follow the course of the events on a femtosecond time scale.
The reaction can be initiated with a short laser pulse and then the course of the reaction followed as it proceeds by monitoring the spectral evolution associated with formation of intermediates and products.

Both substances B and C give the iodoform reaction, and C is an aldehyde.
The only aldehyde to do this is ethanal, CH and since this is produced by careful oxidation of B, B must be ethanol which also gives the iodoform reaction since it is oxidised to ethanal under the conditions of the iodoform test.
The products from the reaction of sodium hydroxide with A are therefore ethanol and sodium benzoate; A must be an ester, so is ethyl benzoate.
