Geometrical isomerism can be found in which of the following?

Geometrical isomerism can be found in which of the following?
  1. Butyric acid
  2. Aspartic acid
  3. Palmitic acid
  4. Cinnamic acid

Solution

No olefinic \(\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{C}\) is present in butyric acid \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH}ight)\), aspartic acid
and palmitic acid \(\mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2ight)_{14} \mathrm{COOH}\). Cinnamic acid is able to show geometrical isomerism.
