Two moles of organic compound 'A' on teratment with a strong base give two compounds 'B' and 'C'. Compound 'B' on dehydrogenation with Cu gives 'A' while acidification of 'C' yield carboxylic acid 'D' with molecular formula of `CH_2O_2`. Identify the compounds A, B, C and D. Write all chemical reactions involved.
