, it produces fruity
smell of compound C. To which family the compounds 'A', 'B' and 'C' belong to
?
Answer:
(i)
Since compound 'A* is obtained by oxidation of compound 'B' and reduction of
compound 'B' with 
gives back
compound 'A', therefore, both compounds 'A' and 'B' have the same number of
carbon atoms.
(ii) Since compound 'A' when heated with compound 'B' in presence
of 
produces fruity smell of
compound ?C', therefore, 'C' must be an ester, 'A' must be a carboxylic acid
and 'B' must be an alcohol.
Thus, 'A' is a carboxylic acid, 'B' is an alcohol and 'C'
is an ester.
