'A' undergoes hydrolysis in acid medium to give B. Since one nitrogen is lost and −OOH is added in this reaction −CN group must be present in 'A'.
AC4H8N2LiAlH4−−−−→4(H)CC4H12N2
BC4H9O2N−H2O−−−−→heatDC4H7ON
DC4H7ONLiAlH4−−−−→4HEC4H9N+H2O
secondary amine
This also indicates the presence of −CN group in 'A'.
'B' must be a carboxylic acid as it liberates CO2 from NaHCO3 solution.
Thus, the second nitrogen is in the form of −NH2 and D will be a cyclic amide.
[γ-amino acid forms cyclic amide on heating].
Thus A must be C|H2NH2−CH2−CH2−CN
The reactions are
H2N−CH2−CH2−CH2−CN[A]H3O=−−−→H2N−CH2−CH2−CH2−COOH[B]
Here, it can be seen that final compound E contains, 14 single bonds
