An organic compound A (molecular formula C₂H₄O₂) reacts with Na metal to form compound B and evolves a gas which burns with a pop sound. Compound A on treatment with an alcohol C in the presence of a little of concentrated sulphuric acid forms a sweet-smelling compound D (molecular formula C₃H₆O₂). Compound D on treatment with NaOH solution gives back B and C. Identify A, B, C and D.
