Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Primary amine forms N-alkyl Benzene sulphonamide which is soluble in alkali

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hinsberg's reagent is benzenesulphonyl chloride (\(C_6H_5SO_2Cl\)). Primary amines react with Hinsberg's reagent to form N-alkylbenzenesulphonamide. The hydrogen attached to the nitrogen in the sulphonamide is strongly acidic due to the presence of the strong…
