Q. The compound $X(C_7H_9N)$ reacts with benzene sulphonyl chloride to give $Y (C_{13}H_{13}NO_2S)$ which is insoluble in alkali. The compound $X$ is

KVPYKVPY 2013Amines

Solution:

Benzene sulphonyl chloride is also known as Hinsberg’s reagent, reacts with $1^{\circ}$ and $2^{\circ}$ amines to form sulphonamides.
The sulphonamide of $1^{\circ}$ amine is soluble in alkali whereas that of $2^{\circ}$ amine is insoluble in alkali.
Thus, the given compound $Y(C_7H_9N)$ is $2^{\circ}$ amine, among the options (a)
