Answer» SOLUTION :`4 D.U` and `C:H = 1:1` in `(A)` SUGGEST benzene ring with either TWO `(Me)` groups in the ring or one `(Et)` group in the side chain. Formation of `(F)` suggests that only one `(-COOH)` is decarboxylated becuase from the above REACTION sequenceit is clear that `(F)` contains two `(OH)` groups. Therefore. `(A)` contains `(Et)` group. Reactions:
