A compound A C_(6)H_(12)O reacts with NH_(2)OH but does not reduce Fehling's solution. On reduction with H_(2)|Pt, a gives an alcohol which on dehydration is converted into an alkene. The alkene on ozonolysis gives a liquid product which reduces tollen's reagent but does not give yellow precipitate with I_(2) with NaOH and (b) a liquid product which gives an yellow precipitate with I_(2) and NaOH but does not reduce Tollen's reagent. deduce the structure of A.
