Which of the following compounds is not chiral ?

An organic compound having a carbon attached to four different groups is optically active. But is it that opposite is also true? That is, do all optically active organic compounds have chiral carbons? Not necessarily. Presence or absence of chiral centre is not the sufficient criteria for optical activity. The ultimate criteria is presence or absence of either plane or centre of symmetry. Two compounds which are non superimposable mirror images of each other are called enantiomers. If a compound contains more than one chiral carbon, new words are required to describe the relationship between various stereisomers of the compound. Those words are diastereomers and mesomers. Optically active compounds among the following is

In order that a compound may show geometrical isomerism A Compound must have a chiral carbon (B) Each of the two doubly bonded carbon atoms must have different atoms or groups (C ) Compound must have a plane of symmetry

Structural isomers have different covalent linkage of atoms. Stereoisomers are compounds that have same sequence of covalent bonds but differ in the relative dispositions of their atoms in space. Geometri cal and optical isomers are the two important types of configurational isomers. The compound with double bonds or ring structure have restricted rotation, so exist in two geometrical forms. The double bonds in larger rings (ring size 10 carbon large) can also cause geometrical isomerism. The optical isomers rotate the plane of plane-polarised light. A sp^(3) -hybridised carbon atom bearing four different types of substituents is called an asymmetric centre or chiral centre. A chiral object or molecule cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. Stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other are called enantiomers. The stereosomers that the pot mirror images of each other are called diastereomers. Diasteremers have different physical properties. A racemic mixture is optically inactive and contains equal amounts of both the enantiomers. Resolution refers to method of separating a racemic mixture. Into two pure enantiomers. A meso compound is an optically inactive stereoisomer, which is achiral due to the presence of an internal plane of symmetry or centre of symmetry within the molecule. The number of chiral centres present in the following compounds is

The amino acid without chiral carbon is

(A) : Acetaldehyde reacts with HCN followed by acid catalysed hydrolysis gives optically active compound, lactic acid . (R) : In lactic acid molecule carbon is surrounded by four different groups and it is chiral molecule.
