To deduce the structures of compounds [A], [B], [C], and [D], we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Compound [A] Given that compound [A] has a characteristic odor and reacts with NaOH to form two products, we can infer that [A] is likely an aromatic aldehyde. A common aromatic aldehyde is benzaldehyde (C₆H₅CHO). **Structure of [A]:** - Benzaldehyde (C₆H₅CHO) ...
