Two organic compounds (A) and (B) with molecular formula, `C_(3)H_(6)O`, react with HCN in different manner to produce (C) and (D) respectively. On subsequent hydrolysis of (C) and (D) gives optically active substances (E) and (F). Both (E) and (F) on decarboxylation give propan -1-ol. What are (A),(B) (C),(E)and (F)?

Answer» (A) `CH_(3)CH_(2)CHO,(B)H_(2)C=CH_(2)OH,(C)CH_(3)CH_(2)CH(OH)CN,(D)CH_(3)-CH(CN)CH_(2)OH,`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)underset("Opitcally active")overset(**)(CH(OH))COOH,(F)CH_(3)-underset("Optically active")overset(**)(CH(COOH))CH_(2)OH`
