An aromatic compound ‘A’ (C8H6) reacts with dil. H2SO4 and HgSO4 giving ‘B’, which upon reaction with NaOH and I2 gives compounds ‘C’ and ‘D’. ‘D’ upon reaction with soda lime gives a hydrocarbon ‘E’, which on reaction with CH3COCl in the presence of anhy- drous aluminium chloride gives ‘B’. Identify ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ and ‘E’ and write the equa- tions of the reactions involved ?
