Question
What is this compound?
Additional info: During the solubility test, the unknown was soluble in ether only. It was NOT soluble in water, H2SO4, HCl, NaOH and NaHCO3. During the nitrogen test, it produced a light pink solution indicating a negative test. During the beilstein flame test, a green flame was absent indicating a negative test and the absence of a halogen. Its boiling point during distillation at the first 10 drops was 180.3-197.2 degrees celsius, the rest of the distillate had a range of 194.6-208.3 degrees celsius. It had a refractive index of 1.6003 @ 20 degrees celsius.

Ethers have very low polarity. We know that 'LIKE DISSOLVES LIKE' so Ether become efficients solvent for non - polar organic compunds. Hence it contains Carbon .
Since it gives negative test on NItogen test , it indicates lack of Nitrogen.
Since it gives negative result in Beilstein Flame test , it indicates absence of halogen.
It must not contain sulphur as it has high boiling point during distillation.
So it must be some organic compound. Looking at the IR Interpretation graph it must be an ester . Its hard to say which organic compund as boiling point depends on number of carbon too.
Hence , It can be Ethyl Benzoateas is it can be confirmed by its refractive index
