An organic compound `(A)` on treatment with ethyl alcohol gives a carboxylic acid `(B)` and compound `( C)`. The hydrolysis of `( C)` under acidic conditions gives `(B)` and `(D)`. Oxidation of `(D)` with `KMnO_4` also gives `(B)`. `(B)` on heating with `Ca(OH)_2` gives `(E)` (molecular formula, `C_3 H_6 O`). `(E)` does not give Tollens test and does not reduce Fehling's solution but forms a `2,4-`dinitrophenyl hydrazone. Identify `(A),(B), ( C), (D)`, and `(E)`.

An organic compound ‘A’ on treatment with ethyl alcohol gives a carboxylic acid ‘B’ and compound ‘C’. Hydrolysis of ‘C’ under acidic conditions gives ‘B’ and ‘D'. Oxidation of ‘D’ with KMnO_4 also gives ‘B’. ‘B’ on heating with Ca(OH)_2 gives ‘E’ (molecular formula, C_3H_6O ). ‘E’ does not give Tollent’s test and does not reduce Fehling’s solution but forms a 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazone. The compound ’E' is:

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.

An organic compound (A) has M.F = C_3H_6O_2 , on hydrolysis gives a monobasic acid (B) and a neutral compound (C). The acid 'B' reduces HgCI_2 solution, while the compound 'C' gives iodoform test. Identify A, B, C giving explanation.
