Which will exhibit optical isomerism-

A

`HO-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-CO_(2)H`

B

`H_(3)C-underset(OH)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-CO_(2)H`

C

`H_(3)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-COOH`

D

`H_(3)C-underset(CI)underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-CO_(2)H`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`H_(3)C-overset(H)overset(|)underset(OH)underset(|)(C^**)-COOH`, The central C - atom of the given compound is chiral. Hence, this molecule is not superimposable on its mirror image. Therefore, it will exhibit optical isomerism.
