An aromatic compound A (Molecular formula C8H8O) gives positive 2, 4-DNP test. It gives a yellow precipitate of compound B on treatment with iodine and sodium hydroxide solution. Compound A does not give Tollen’s or Fehling’s test. On drastic oxidation with potassium permanganate it forms a carboxylic acid C (Molecular formula C7H6O2), which is also formed along with the yellow compound in the above reaction. Identify A, B and C and write all the reactions involved.
