Compound AA, C4H8O, gives a positive result (formation of a silver mirror) when reacted with Tollen’s reagent. Reduction of compound AA with lithium aluminium hydride, LiAlH4 followed by acidified water, H3O+ produces an alcohol, BB. Oxidation of BB with hot acidified potassium dichromate, K2Cr2O7 gives butanoic acid, C3H7COOH. Esterification between butanoic acid and methanol, CH3OH produces compound CC. Dehydration of compound BB using concentrated sulphuric acid, H2SO4 at a temperature of 180°C produces compound DD. Draw the structural formula of compounds AA, BB, CC, and DD

Using Friedel Crafts alkylation of benzene, a group of scientists discovered compound A, C10H12O, an optically inactive compound. They discovered that compound B, C10H12ClO, is produced during the halogenation process. When compound B is reacted with nitric acid, compound C, C10H10ClNO3, is formed. While Friedel Crafts alkylation of compound A produced compound D. This compound D was oxidised to produce compound E, C11H12O3 as a major product. Compound F, C12H14O2, was produced by Friedel Crafts acylation of compound A. This compound F reacts positively with alkaline iodine and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine.
