A hydrocarbon 'A', $\left(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_8\right)$ on reaction with HCl gives a compound ' B ', $\left(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_9 \mathrm{Cl}\right)$, which on reaction with 1 mol of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ gives compound ' C ', ( $\left.\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{11} \mathrm{~N}\right)$. On reacting with $\mathrm{NaNO}_2$ and HCl followed by treatment with water, compound ' C ' yields an optically active alcohol,'D'. Ozonolysis of 'A' gives 2 mols of acetaldehyde. Identify compounds 'A' to 'D'. Explain the reactions involved.
