In an attempt to synthesize compound C through a two-step process, a chemist discovered after
completing the first step that they had inadvertently produced two distinct compounds, A and B.
Upon examining the infrared spectroscopy (IR) results, it was observed that both A and B exhibited
peaks indicative of a ketone and an ester group. Please provide the molecular structures of A and B.

In a chemical experiment, they noticed that both components, A and B, from a combined
sample turned into a new compound, C, during the following stage. The task is to
determine what compound C looks like and explain how compound A or B changes into
compound C through a reaction. Compound C should be the primary molecule
containing carbon created in this process, not just a by-product.
