Which among the following is dicarboxylic acid?

  • A
    Valeric acid
  • B
    Caproic acid
  • Correct answer
    C
    Glutaric acid
  • D
    Butyric acid

Solution

$\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{COOH}$ (valeric acid) $\mathrm{NH}_2-\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_5-\mathrm{COOH}$ (Caproic acid) Figure
$\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{COOH}$ (Butyric acid)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
