An organic compound (A) with molecular formula 8 8 C H O form an orange-red precipitate with 2,4-DNP reagent and gives yellow precipitate on heating with iodine in the presence of sodium hydroxide. If neither reduces Tollen’s or Fehlings’ reagent, nor does it decoloures bromine water or Baeyer’s reagent. On drastic oxidation with chromic acid, it gives a carboxylic acid (B) having molecular formula 7 6 2 C H O . Identify the compounds (A) and (B) and explain the reactions involved.
