  2. B
    C6H5SO2ClC_6H_5SO_2ClC6​H5​SO2​Cl
  3. C
    SOCl2SOCl_2SOCl2​
  4. D
    (COCl)2(COCl)_2(COCl)2​
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: B

  1. Recall the definition of Hinsberg's reagent

    Hinsberg's reagent is the reagent used in the Hinsberg test to distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary amines.

  2. Chemical identity of Hinsberg's reagent

    Hinsberg's reagent is benzenesulphonyl chloride, whose formula is: C6H5SO2ClC_6H_5SO_2ClC6​H5​SO2​Cl

  3. Check the options

    • A: C6H5COClC_6H_5COClC6​H5​COCl = benzoyl chloride, not Hinsberg's reagent
    • B: C6H5SO2ClC_6H_5SO_2ClC6​H5​SO2​Cl = benzenesulphonyl chloride, correct
    • C: SOCl2SOCl_2SOCl2​ = thionyl chloride, not Hinsberg's reagent
    • D: (COCl)2(COCl)_2(COCl)2​ = oxalyl chloride, not Hinsberg's reagent
  4. Conclusion

    Therefore, Hinsberg's reagent is: C6H5SO2Cl\boxed{C_6H_5SO_2Cl}C6​H5​SO2​Cl​

    So the correct option is B.
