Identify the compound that will react with Hinsberg's reagent to give a solid which dissolve
in alkali. [NEET 2021]
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Benzene sulphonyl chloride
(also known as Hinsberg's reagent) reacts with
primary amines to form sulphonamides. Due to presence of strong electron withdrawing sulphonyl group, the hydrogen attached to N is highly acidic. Hence, it is soluble in alkali.
