A compound has molecular formula `C_(6)H_(12)O`. It does not reduce Tollens or Fehling's reagent, but gives a crystalline derivative with 2,4-dinitro-phenyl hydrazine. With alkali and `I_(2)`, it gives yellow solid with a medicinal odour. Clemmensen reduction converts it to 2-methylpentane. The structure formula of the compound is most likely to be:

Options

A. `CH_(3)-COCH_(2)-CH-(CH_(3))_(2)`
B. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CO-CH-(CH_(3))_(2)`
C. `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)-CO-CH_(2)CH_(3)`
D. `(CH_(3))_(2)-CH-CO-CH-(CH_(3))_(2)`

Answer

A

Explanation

Proceeds reverse from the Clemmensen reduction.
