Acetamide does not give positive Iodoform test. ... so the iodoform reaction is very difficult to occur for acetamide.
Can acetamide show Haloform reaction?
The only primary alcohol and aldehyde to undergo this reaction are ethanol and acetaldehyde, respectively. 1,3-Diketones such as acetylacetone also give the haloform reaction. β-ketoacids such as acetoacetic acid will also give the test upon heating. Acetyl chloride and acetamide don't give this test.
