An organic compound (A) contaning C, H, and O (16.32%) does not decolourise bromine water and does not give any precipitate with ammonical AgNO_(3) . It consumes 1 mol of NH_(2)OH per mole of (A) to give a solid derivative. The monobromo derivative of (A) shows optical activity. If (A) is optically inactive, suggest the structure.
