$CH_3-CO-CH_3$ $\xrightarrow{NaCN/HCl} A$ $\xrightarrow{H_3O^{+}/\Delta} B$. In the above sequence of reactions,$A$ and $B$ are:

Acetone is treated with excess of ethanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The product obtained is

What will be $X$ and $Y$ in the following reaction?

What is the product $E$ in the following reaction?

Identify the products $A$,$B$,and $C$ in the following reaction sequence:
$C_6H_5CONH_2$ $\xrightarrow{P_2O_5, \Delta} A$ $\xrightarrow[(ii) H_2O]{(i) DIBAL-H} B$
$A \xrightarrow[(ii) H_3O^+, \Delta]{(i) (CH_3CO)_2O/CH_3COONa} C$

An organic compound $P$ having molecular formula $C_6H_6O_3$ gives a ferric chloride test and does not have an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The compound $P$ reacts with $3$ equivalents of $NH_2OH$ to produce oxime $Q$. Treatment of $P$ with excess methyl iodide in the presence of $KOH$ produces compound $R$ as the major product. Reaction of $R$ with excess iso-butylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with $H_3O^{+}$ gives compound $S$ as the major product. The total number of methyl $(-CH_3)$ groups in compound $S$ is . . . .
