An optically active amide `(A)C_5H_(11)NO` on acid hydrolysis gives an acid and `NH_3`. When (A) is treated with bromide and alkali a compound is obtained which one treatment with nitrous acid gives an optically active alcohol and nitrogen. The alcohol gives positive iodoform test. What is the structure of A and show the reactions involved.
