An aromatic compound ‘A’ on heating with Br₂ and KOH forms a compound ‘B’ of molecular formula C₆H₇N which on reacting with CHCl₃ and alcoholic KOH produces a foul smelling compound ‘C’. Write the structures and IUPAC names of compounds A, B and C.

When benzamide reacts with Br₂/KOH and Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction will take place to form aniline and when aniline is treated with CHCl₃/KOH, carbylamine reaction will take place to form phenyl isocyanide.

Therefore, A = Benzamide, B = Aniline, and C = Phenyl Isocyanide
