A nitraite on acid hydrolysis gives compound A, which reacts with thionyl chloride to give compound B. Benzene reacts with compound B in presence of anhydrous AlCl_(3) to give compound C. The compound B reacts with ethyl alcohol to give ester D. Identify the compounds A,B C and D and write the equations.

Solution :`underset("Acetonitrile")(CH_(3)-CN)overset(H_(3)O^(+))underset("Acetic ACID")(CH_(3)-COOH) overset(SOCl_(2))underset(Delta)rarrunderset("Acetyl chloride")(CH_(3)-COCl)`

`underset((B))(CH_(3)COCl) + underset("Ethyl alcohol")(C_(2)H_(5)OH)RARR underset("Ethyl acetate")(CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5)) +HCl`
