An organic compound (P) having molecular formula C9H10O, form an orange precipitate (Q) with 2,4-DNP reagent. Compound (P) gives a yellow precipitate (R) when heated in the presence of iodine and NaOH along with a colourless compound (S). (P) neither reduce Tollen’s reagent or Fehling’s solution nor it decolourises bromine water. On drastic oxidation of (P) with chromic acid, a carboxylic acid (T) having molecular formula C7H6O2 is obtained. Deduce the structures of the compounds (P) to (T).

An organic compound A with molecular formula C7H8 on oxidation by chromyl chloride in the presence of CCl4 gives a compound B which gives positive Tollen’s test. The compound B on treatment with NaOH followed by acid hydrolysis gives two products C and D. C on oxidation gives B which on further oxidation gives D. The compound D on distillation with soda lime gives a hydrocarbon E. Below 60°C, concentrated nitric acid reacts with E in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid forming a compound F. Identify the compounds A, B, C, D, E and F.
