Compound `X` (molecular formula `C_5 H_8 O`) does not react appreciably with Lucas reagent at room temperature but gives a precipitate with amononiacal silver nitrate with excess of `MeMgBr, 0.42 gm` of `X` gives `224 ml` of `CH_4` at `S.T.P` Treatment of `X` with `H_2`. in the presence of `Pt` catalyst followed by boiling with excess of `HI`, gives n-pentane. Suggest the structure for `X` and write the equations involved.
