The ring systems having following characteristics are aromatic.
(i) Planar ring containing conjugated π bonds.
(ii) Complete delocalisation of the π-electrons in ring system i.e. each atom in the ring has unhybridised p-orbital, and
(iii) Presence of (4n + 2) π-electrons in the ring where n is an integer (n = 0,1,2..) [Huckel rule].

Using this information classify the following compounds as aromatic/ nonaromatic.

An alkyl halide C5H11Br (A) reacts with ethanolic KOH to give an alkene 'B'. which reacts with Br2 to give a compound 'C' which on dehydrobromination gives an alkyne 'D'. On treatment with sodium metal In liquid ammonia one mole of 'D' gives one mole of the sodium salt of 'D' and half a mole of hydrogen gas. Complete hydrogenation of 'D' yields a straight chain alkane. Identify A, B, C and D. Give the reactions involved.
