A compound [A] gives positive iodoform test in 5 minutes. When 6.0 g of [A] is treated with sodium metal, 1120 mL of hydrogen gas is evolved at NTP. It is assumed that [A] contains one atom of oxygen per molecule. Further when [A] reacts with PBr_(3), a compound [B] is formed which on reacting with benzene in the presence of anhydrous AlCl_(3) gives a compound [C]. the compound [C] is a well known industrial compound and is used in the commercial preparation of phenol. The compound [A] is a
