Which statement is correct regarding the Hinsberg test?

Options

  1. APrimary amines react with the Hinsberg reagent and yields N-ethylbenzenesulphonyl amide.
  2. BSecondary amines react with the Hinsberg reagent and yields N,N-diethyl-benzenesulfonamide is formed
  3. CTertiary amines do not react with the Hinsberg reagent.
  4. DAll of these

Correct answer

D. All of these

Step-by-step solution

Benzenesulfonyl chloride reacts with primary amines to form sulphonamides and secondary amines yield N,N-dimethyl-benzenesulfonamide. Tertiary amines do not react.
