Which of the following compounds will dissolve in an alkali solution after it has undergone reaction with Hinsberg reagent?

A$$\left( { C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 5 } \right) _{ 2 }NH$$
B$$\left( { CH }_{ 3 } \right) _{ 3 }N$$
C$${ CH }_{ 3 }{ NH }_{ 2 }$$
Correct Answer
D$${ C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 5 }{ NHC }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 5 }$$

Solution

Primary and secondary amines react with Hinsberg reagent. Further, only primary amines then react with alkali because of presence of one acidic hydrogen on the nitrogen atom.
So, C is the correct answer because it is a primary amine
