Question

A colorless liquid (C4H60) gave a negative test for the presence of halogens, sulfur, and nitrogen. It did however give a positive test with 2,4-diniuophenylhydrazine. The Schiffs reagent and the Jones reagent, both gave negative results. The unknown compound also turned a solution of bromine in methylene chloride colorless. What is the structure and name of the colorless liquid?
