Three isomers A, B and C (mol. formula C??H??O?) gives the following results:
B or C →Decarboxylation→ D(C?H??)
A →Decarboxylation→ E(an isomer of D)
Both D and E are non-resolvable.
D or E →H?/KMnO?→ Benzoic acid
B is more reactive than C towards decarboxylation reaction.
A, B, C respectively are:
