Give possible functional groups and/or compound suggestions for the unknown based on the information I have provided.
I have ran a series of tests on my unknown organic molecule and an IR spectrum was gathered (please see attached image).

Its physical characteristics are a light yellow crystallized powder (the color could be a result of oxidation).
It has a melting point of 123-125C
The test ran and results:
-Ignition Test: produced a yellow sooty flame indicating the presence of an aromatic compound, unsaturated, or higher aliphatic compound.
-Beilstein Test: didn't produce a green or blue-green flame, indicating the absence of Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine.
-Baeyer Test: purple changed to brown, indicating unsaturated carbons or any functional group that reacts with permanganate interferes with the test (phenols, arylamines, most aldehydes,
primary and secondary alcohols, etc.).
-Copper Ion Test: no blue-green coloration or precipitate, indicating a lack of amines and ammonia.
-Farrox Test: no color was observed and the ferrate compound didn't dissolve (negative test), indicating an absence of oxygen (some high-molecular-weight ethers give a negative test)
-Iodoform Test: no color was observed, indicating a lack of compounds that on oxidation generate methyl ketones or acetaldehyde.
-The Lucas Test: solution turned cloudy immediately. Tertiary, allyl, and benzyl monofunctional alcohols that have >6 carbons give this result.
-The Jones Test: solution stayed orange color, not changing to green resulting in a negative test. Tertiary alcohols, unsaturated hydrocarbons, amines, ethers, and ketones give a negative test
Please give me possible compounds and functional groups of my compound, thanks!
if you need anymore information, feel free to comment on the question and I'll do what I can to provide.
