MCQ
Which of the following is not optically active?
- ✓Glycine
- BLysine
- CAspartic acid
- DIsoleucine
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Glycine
Glycine is not optically active.
A optically active compound should have atleast one carbon atom attached to four different groups.
Glycine is not active because it has carbon atom attached to $2$ hydrogen atoms$,1$ amino group and $1$ carboxylic group.
