Question

Ang compound X(C2H4O), on oxidation, gives Y(C2H4O2). Compound (X) undergoes
halen On treatment with Haloform reaction. On treatment with HCN compound (X) produces Z which on hydrolysis,
gives 2 - hydropropanoic acid. Identify X. Y and Z. Write the equation for the reactions involved
What happens when X is treated with dilute NaOH? ​
