Please explain question 18 in detail. cozH X + Y. These are Cl (A) Structure isomers (B) Stereo isomers ( ) H rndlogues (C) Conformational Which of the following carboxylic acids undergoes decarboxylation easily ? (A) C6Hs-CO-CH2-COOH (C) C6H5 -CH- COOH OH (B) COOH (D) C6H5 -CH -COOH NH2

Dear Student,


Decarboxylation will occur when the given reactant is heated. Now, here different stereoisomers will be formed as there are two carboxylic group and any of the group can undergo decarboxylation giving two stereoisomers.
