Compound 'A' undergoes auto oxidation in the presence of cobalt naphthenate as catalyst at 423K in alkaline medium followed by heating with dil. H2SO4 to give compound 'B' and acetone as byproduct of the reaction. Compound 'B' is isolated by distillation and further heated with the nitrating mixture giving picric acid. Identify the compounds 'A' and 'B'.
