An alcohol (A) on treatment with conc. H_(2)SO_4 gave an alkene (B). The compound (B), on reacting with Br_(2) wate and subsequent dehydrobromination with NaNH_(2) produced a compound (C). The compound (C) with dil. H_(2)SO_(4) in presence of HgSO_(4) gave a compound 'D'. the compound D can also be obtained by oxidation of A by acidified KMnO_(4) or from distillation of calcium acetate. calculate molecular weight of 'C'.
