Options
- APara-Toluene sulphonyl chloride
- BChloroform and KOH
- CBenzene sulphonic acid
- DAcetyl amide

A. Para-Toluene sulphonyl chloride
Step-by-step solution
Primary amines react with Para-toluene sulphonyl chloride to form a precipitate that is soluble in NaOH . Secondary amines reacts with Para-toluene sulphonyl chloride to give a precipitate that is insoluble in NaOH . Tertiary amines do not react with Para-toluene sulphonyl chloride.
