An organic compound 'A' having molecular formula `C_(6)H_(6)O` gives a characeristic colour with aqueous `FeCl_(3)` solution. When 'A' is treated with `CO_(2)` and `NaOH` at `400 K` under pressure, compound 'B' is obtained. The compound 'B' upon acidification gives compound 'C' which reacts with acetyl chloride to form 'D'. It is a polular pain killer. Deduce the structures of A, B, C and D.
