The correct Answer is:
To determine which amine reacts with Hinsberg reagent, we need to analyze the behavior of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines when they come into contact with this reagent. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hinsberg Reagent**: - The Hinsberg reagent is benzene sulfonyl chloride (C6H5SO2Cl). It is used to differentiate between primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. 2. **Reaction with Primary Amines**: - When a primary amine (RNH2) reacts with the Hinsberg reagent, it forms a sulfonamide (RNH-SO2C6H5) and releases HCl as a byproduct. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ RNH_2 + C_6H_5SO_2Cl \rightarrow RNH-SO_2C_6H_5 + HCl \] - The product (sulfonamide) is soluble in alkali. 3. **Reaction with Secondary Amines**: - Secondary amines (R2NH) also react with the Hinsberg reagent, forming a sulfonamide (R2N-SO2C6H5) and releasing HCl. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ R_2NH + C_6H_5SO_2Cl \rightarrow R_2N-SO_2C_6H_5 + HCl \] - The product formed is slightly soluble in alkali. 4. **Reaction with Tertiary Amines**: - Tertiary amines (R3N) do not react with the Hinsberg reagent. This is because there are no hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen that can be replaced during the reaction. - Therefore, tertiary amines remain unreacted. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both primary and secondary amines react with the Hinsberg reagent, while tertiary amines do not. Thus, the answer to the question is that primary and secondary amines give a reaction with Hinsberg reagent. ### Final Answer: Both primary and secondary amines react with Hinsberg reagent, while tertiary amines do not. ---
