compound A C13H15O3Cl decolourises hot acidified KMnO4 forming B C and D with formulas C4H8O2 C3H4O3 C6H5OCl respectively. 1 mol B reacts with 0.5 mold Na2CO3 and reacts with conc H2SO4 to give sweet smelling E C8H12O4. C gives positive idoform test and reacts with SOCL2. D reacts with aq Br2 to form white ppt. identify A to E

Compound A C13H15O3Cl decolourises hot acidified KMnO4 forming B, C, and D with formulae C4H8O3, C3H4O3, C6H5OCl respectively. 1 mol B reacts with 0.5 moles of Na2CO3, and also reacts with conc H2SO4 to give sweet smelling E C8H12O4. C gives positive idoform test and reacts with SOCl2. D reacts with aq Br2 to form white ppt. Draw the structures of A to E.
