An organic aromatic compound ‘A’ with the molecular formula C6H7N is sparingly soluble in water. ‘A’ on treatment with dil HCI gives a water soluble compound ‘B’. ‘A’ also reacts with chloroform in presence of alcoholic KOH to form an obnoxious smelling compound ‘C’. ‘A’ reacts with benzene sulphonyl chloride to form an alkali soluble compound ‘D’.’A’ reacts with NaNO2 and HCl to form a compound ‘E’ which on reaction with phenol forms an orange red dye ‘F’. Elucidate the structures of the organic compounds from ‘A’ to ‘F’.
