Correct answer: C
-
Identify the reaction involved
-Toluenesulfonyl chloride reacts with amines in the Hinsberg test.
General behavior:
- Primary amines react to form sulfonamides having an acidic proton, so they are soluble in aqueous NaOH.
- Secondary amines react to form sulfonamides with no acidic hydrogen on nitrogen, so they are insoluble in aqueous NaOH.
- Tertiary amines generally do not react with sulfonyl chloride because there is no proton required for sulfonamide formation.
-
Examine Statement (I)
The compounds given are:
- = aniline = primary amine
- = diphenylamine = secondary amine
- = triphenylamine = tertiary amine
Now check reactivity with -toluenesulfonyl chloride:
- Aniline: reacts
- Diphenylamine: reacts
- Triphenylamine: does not react
Therefore, the statement "All the following compounds react with -toluenesulfonyl chloride" is false.
So, Statement (I) is false.
-
Examine Statement (II)
Statement (II): "Their products in the above reaction are soluble in aqueous ."
Check product solubility:
- Product from aniline (primary amine) is a sulfonamide containing acidic , hence soluble in aqueous NaOH.
- Product from diphenylamine (secondary amine) is an -disubstituted sulfonamide with no acidic hydrogen, hence insoluble in aqueous NaOH.
- Triphenylamine does not react, so no such product forms.
Hence it is incorrect to say that the products are soluble in aqueous .
So, Statement (II) is also false.
-
Conclusion
- Statement (I): False
- Statement (II): False
Therefore, the correct option is:
-
Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = C.
My derived answer also = C. Hence, they agree.
