Question:medium

An organic compound with the molecular formula C\textsubscript{8H\textsubscript{8}O forms 2,4-DNP derivative, reduces Tollen's reagent and undergoes Cannizzaro reaction. On vigorous oxidation, it gives 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid. The organic compound is}

Show Hint

Vigorous oxidation of any alkyl group and the aldehyde group on a benzene ring turns them into carboxylic acid groups ($-COOH$). The name "1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid" is the ultimate clue for an ortho relationship!
