Hello Student
It is given that compound‘C’having the molecular formula,C6H7Nis formed by heating compound ‘B’ withBr2andKOH. This is aHoffmannbromamidedegradation reaction. Therefore, compound ‘B’ is an amide and compound‘C’is an amine. The only amine having the molecular formula, C6H7Nis aniline, (C6H5NH2).
Therefore, compound ‘B’ (from which’C’is formed) must bebenzamide, (C6H5CONH2).
Further, benzamide is formed by heating compound ‘A’ with aqueous ammonia. Therefore, compound ‘A’ must be benzoic acid.
