Question:

A hydrocarbon A, C9H12, is treated with
A-bromosuccinimide in CCl4 in the presence of peroxides to give a compound B, C9H11Br. Compound B undergoes rapid solvolysis in aqueous acetone to give an alcohol C,C9H12O, which cannot be oxidized with CrO3 in pyridine. Vigorous oxidation of compound A with hot chromic acid gives benzoic acid, PhCO2H. Identify compounds A-C.
