An organic compound having molecular formula C9H10O is supplied to a student to determine the structural formula of compound. He observe that compound forms an orange red precipitate with 2.4 DNP reagent and yellow precipitate on heating with I2/NaOH. It neither reduces tollens reagent or Fehling solution nor it decolorises bromine water solution. On drastic oxidation with CrO3, it produces a carboxylic acid having molecular formula C7H6O2. Identify the correct compound A.
