Compound A, C11H12O, which have a negative Tollens test, was treated with LiAlH4, followed by dilute acid, to give compound B, w
hich could be resolved into enantiomers. When optically active B was treated with CrO3 in pyridine, an optically inactive sample of A was obtained. Heating A with hydrazine in base gave hydrocarbon C, which, when heated with alkaline KMnO4, gave carboxylic acid D. Identify compounds A, B, and C.
