Why pyruvic acid gives IODOFORM test. I think it should give this test. It is a acid and will react with base

Hello Dear, Iodoform test is done to identify CO-CH3 group in aldehyde & ketones. See the structure of Pyruvic acid. It can react with base as well but that will not be an identification test.
