Correct answer: A
-
Recall what Hinsberg's reagent is
Hinsberg's reagent is benzenesulphonyl chloride .
It reacts with primary and secondary amines:
- Primary amine forms sulphonamide having one acidic H on nitrogen, hence soluble in alkali.
- Secondary amine forms sulphonamide without N-H, hence insoluble in alkali.
- Tertiary amine does not react.
-
Identify the given species
From the question text, the visible compounds are:
- , which is a primary amine.
- , which is a tertiary amine.
Therefore:
- reacts with Hinsberg's reagent.
- does not react with Hinsberg's reagent.
-
Use the options to infer A, B, E
Since reacts and does not react:
- Any correct option must include C.
- Any correct option must exclude D.
Check options:
- Option A: A, C and E only
Includes C, excludes D. - Option B: A, B and E only
Does not include C, so impossible. - Option C: C and D only
Includes D, so impossible. - Option D: B and D only
Includes D and excludes C, so impossible.
Hence only Option A can be correct.
-
Conclusion
The compounds reacting with Hinsberg's reagent are A, C and E only.
So the correct choice is:
