A specific organic compound 'X', with a molecular formula CHO, undergoes the following reactions: 'X' reacts with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) to release CO gas. When treated with LiAlH (lithium aluminum hydride) followed by water, 'X' yields a compound 'Y', which gives a positive iodoform test. Under catalytic hydrogenation, 'X' does not change. Which of the following is the most likely structure of compound 'X'? Ethyl acetate (CHCOOCHCH) Acetic acid (CHCOOH) Butanoic acid (CHCOOH) Methyl propionate (CHCHCOOCH). Don't use chat gpt.
