Consider the following reaction: The m-isomer of D and E is called:

Consider the following reaction: The m-isomer of D and E is called:

  • A. Phthalic acid
  • B. Isophthalic acid
  • C. Terephthalic acid
  • D. None

Step-by-step solution

In benzene dicarboxylic acids, the meta isomer is isophthalic acid. Phthalic acid is ortho, terephthalic acid is para, so the m-isomer corresponds to isophthalic acid.
