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.
