    A student performed analysis of aliphatic organic compound ' X ' which on analysis gave C=61.01%C = 61.01\%, H=15.25%, N=23.74%H = 15.25\%,\text{ }N = 23.74\%. This compound, on treatment with HNO2/H2OHNO_{2}/H_{2}O produced another compound ' Y ' which did not contain any nitrogen atom. However, the compound ' Y ' upon controlled oxidation produced another compound ' ZZ ' that responded to iodoform test. The structure of ' X ' is:
