Question

An organic compound $[A]$ having molecular formula $C_{2} H_{7} N$ on treatment with nitrous acid gives a compound $[B]$ having molecular formula $C_{2} H_{6} O$ . $[B]$ on treatment with an organic compound $[C]$ gives a carboxylic acid $[D]$ and a sweet smelling compound $[E]$ . Oxidation of $[B]$ with acidified potassium dichromate also gives $[D]$
Write balanced chemical equation of $[D]$ with chlorine in the presence of red phosphorus and name the reaction.
