    Which compound can exist in a dipolar (zwitter ion) state [Pb. PMT 1998]

    A)                 \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}CH(N=C{{H}_{2}})COOH\]

    B)                 \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CH.CH(N{{H}_{2}})COOH\]

    C)                 \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CONHC{{H}_{2}}COOH\]

    D)                 \[HOOC.C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}COCOOH\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}.\,CH.\underset{N{{H}_{2}}}{\mathop{\underset{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}{\mathop{CH\,\,}}\,}}\,-COOH\] ⇌ \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}-CH.\underset{N{{H}_{3}}^{+}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}{\mathop{\underset{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}{\mathop{CH-CO{{O}^{-}}}}\,}}\,\]
