    Which compound can exist in a dipolar (zwitter ion) structure?

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

    B) \[{{\left(C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}CHCH\left( N{{H}_{2}} \right)COOH\]

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

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\alpha \]-Amino acids exist as zwitter ion. \[{{\left(C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}CH-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} |\\ N{{H}_{2}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-COOH\to {{\left(C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}CH-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} |\\ ^{+}N{{H}_{3}} \\ Zwitter\,ion \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-COO-\]
