Carboxylic Acids And Its Derivatives

An organic compound $[\mathrm{X}]$ reacts with $\mathrm{H}_2 / \mathrm{Pd}-\mathrm{BaSO}_4$ to give compound $[\mathrm{Y}]$ which reduces Tollen's reagent and undergoes Cannizzaro's reaction. On rigorous oxidation of $[\mathrm{Y}]$ in presence of $\mathrm{KMnO}_4 / \mathrm{H}^{+}$Phthalic acid is the product obtained. What is $[\mathrm{X}]$ ?
