MCQ
Which of the following acids does not exhibit optical isomerism?
- ✓Maleic acid
- B$\alpha -$amino acids
- CLactic acid
- DTartaric acid
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Maleic acid
a
Maleic acid does not exhibit optical isomerism as it lacks chiral C atom. Tartaric acid, lactic acid and $\alpha-$ amino acids exhibit optical isomerism as they contain chiral $C$ atoms.
