1.	An organic compound (A) (C_(6)H_(6)O) gives maximum of two isomers (B) and ( C), When an alkaline solution of (A) is refluxed with chloroform. (B) on oxidation gives acid (D). The acid (D) is also obtained by treating. Sodium salt of (A) with CO_(2) under pressure followed by hydrolysis, Identify the compounds (A), (B), (C) and (D) and explains with proper chemical reactions.
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) When ALKALINE solution of (A) is refluxed with chloroform, isomers (B) and (C ) are obtained. (ii) (B) on OXIDATION GIVES ACID (D). (iii) The acid (D) is also obtained by treating, sodium salt of (A) witih `CO_(2)` under pressure followed by hydrolysis.
