An organic compound A on treatment with ...

An organic compound A on treatment with ethanol yields a carboxylic acid B and a neutral compound C.On hydrolysis, C produces B and another compound D. D on oxidation produces B, which on heating with Ca `(OH)_2` gives E `(C_3H_6O)` E form 2,4 Dinitrophenyl hydrazone derivatives but does not show Fehling test.
