An alcohol (A ) on dehydration gives (B) which adds bromine molecule to give (C ), (C ) on heating with sodamide gives (D) which on hydration in the presence of Hg^(++)//H_(2)SO_(4) gives (E ). E on reduction by lithium aluminium hydride gives (A). (E ) is also obtained on dry distillation of calcium salt of acetic acid. How many enolisable proton present in the product (E) ?
