An organic compound (A) with molecular formula C_8H_8O forms an orange precipitate with 2, 4 dinitrophenyl hydrazine and gives yellow precipitate on heating with iodine in presence of sodium hydroxide. It neither reduces Tollen's reagent nor Fehling solution and it also does not decolourise bromine water or Baeyer's reagent.
