Hinsberg's reagent (benzenesulfonyl chloride) classifies amines by their reaction products: Primary amines (RNH₂) form alkali-soluble sulfonamides (soluble in NaOH). Secondary amines (R₂NH) form alkali-insoluble sulfonamides (precipitate in NaOH). Tertiary amines (R₃N) do not react. Analyzing the given amines: Aniline (primary), Methanamine (primary), Phenylmethanamine (primary), Allyl amine (primary), Isopropyl amine (primary) → alkali-soluble. N,N-Dimethylmethanamine (tertiary), N,N-Dimethylaniline (tertiary) → no reaction. N-Methylaniline (secondary), N-Methyl methanamine (secondary), N-Propylaniline (secondary), N-Phenylaniline (secondary) → alkali-insoluble. Total alkali-insoluble sulfonamides: 4.
