The treatment of alkyl chlorides with aqueous KOH leads to the formation of alcohols but in the presence of alcoholic KOH, alkenes are major products. Explain.

What happens when Ethyl bromide reacts with alcoholic KOH.

An unknown aldehyde 'A' on reacting with alkali gives a beta hydroxy aldehyde, which losses water to form an unsaturated aldehyde, but-2-enal. Another aldehyde 'B' undergoes disproportionation reaction in the presence of conc alkali to form products 'C' and 'D'. 'C' is an aryl alcohol with formula C_7H_8O : Identify A and B.
