An organic compound A having molecular formula $C_6H_6O$ gives a characteristic colour with aqueous $FeCl_3$ . When A is treated with $NaOH$ and $CO_2$ at $400\;K$ under pressure, compound B is obtained. Compound B on acidification gives compound C which reacts with acetyl chloride to form D which is a popular pain killer. Deduce the structure of A, B, C and D. What is the common name of Drug D?
