Single Choice

Which of the following is used as Hinsberg's reagent?

A$$C_6H_5SO_2Cl$$
Correct Answer
B$$C_6H_5SO_3H$$
C$$C_6H_5NHCH_3$$
D$$C_6H_5COCH_3$$

Solution

Hinsberg's reagent is used to differentiate the amines into $$ 1^0$$ or $$2^0$$ or $$3^0$$.

The chemical formula for Hinsberg reagent is $$C_6H_5SO_2Cl$$ i.e Benzene sulphonyl chloride.

Primary amines get converted to sulphonamide in presence of Hinsberg reagent which is soluble in $$NaOH$$

secondary amines get converted to sulphonamide in presence of Hinsberg reagent which is insoluble in $$NaOH$$

There is no reaction of Hinsberg reagent with tertiary amines.

Option A is correct.
