An organic compound (A) composed of C, H and O gives characteristic colour with ceric ammonium nitrate. Treatement of (A) with PCl5 gives (B), which reacts with KCN to form (C). The reduction of (C) with warm Na/C2H5OH produces (D). which on heating gives (E) with evolution of ammonia. Pyridine is obtained on treatment of (E) with nitrobenzene. Give structure of compounds (A) to (E) with proper reasoning.

A mixture of two aromatic compounds A and B was separated by dissolving in chloroform followed by extraction with aqueous KOH solution. The organic layer containing compound A, when heated with alcoholic solution of KOH produced a compound CC7H5 N associated with an unplesant odour. The alkaline aqueous layer on the other hand, when heated with chloroform and then acidified gave a mixture of two isomeric compounds D and E of molecular formula C7H6O2. Identify the compound A,B,C,D and E write their structures.
