Hydrochloric acid

A colorless liquid, bp 199–201°C, burns with a yellow, sooty flame. The sodium fusion test proved negative for the presence of halogens, nitrogen, and sulfur. The compound was not soluble in water, 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide, or 5% hydrochloric acid. However, it dissolved in sulfuric acid with evolution of heat. It did not give a precipitate with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine solution, and it did not decolorize bromine–methylene chloride solution. The unknown liquid did give a positive hydroxamate test and was found to have a saponification equivalent of 136. Identify the unknown liquid.
