Identify the compound that will react with Hinsberg’s reagent to give a solid which dissolves in alkali.




To solve this problem, we need to understand the reaction of amines with Hinsberg's reagent.Hinsberg's reagent is benzene sulfonyl chloride (CHSOCl).It is used to distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary amines.• Primary amines react with Hinsberg's reagent to form a sulfonamide, which is soluble in alkali.• Secondary amines form a sulfonamide that is insoluble in alkali.• Tertiary amines do not react with Hinsberg's reagent.Let's analyze the options:Option 1: The compound is a nitro compound, not an amine.Option 2: The compound is a secondary amine (CHCHNHCH).Option 3: The compound is a primary amine (CHCHNH).Option 4: The compound is a tertiary amine (CHCHN(CH)CHCH).The primary amine (Option 3) will react with Hinsberg's reagent to form a sulfonamide that dissolves in alkali.Therefore, the correct option is Option 3.
