Solution
Using the given molecular formula, compound A is Ethanoyl Chloride CH3COCl, which undergoes reaction with poisoned palladium.
On carrying hydrogenation of A in the presence of poisoned palladium, we get an aldehyde. Hence, B can be Ethanal, CH3CHO.
An aldehyde, on treating with dilute alkali, undergoes aldol condensation reaction. Hence, C can be CH3CH(OH)CH2CHO.
On heating an aldol product, it loses water to produce a double bond and we get CH3CH=CHCHO.
Hence, we have
