Question

A compound (X) with molecular formula C3H9N reacts with C6H5SO2Cl to give a solid which is insoluble in alkali. (X) is (A) CH3CH2CH2NH2 (B)  (C) CH3 - NH - CH2CH3 (D)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Since the compound reacts with benzenesulphonyl chloride to give a product which is insoluble in alkali, it shows there is no H attached to N in the product. Hence, the compound X is a secondary amine.

Q. A compound $(X)$ with molecular formula $C_{3} H_{9} N$ reacts with $C_{6} H_{5} S O_{2} Cl$ to give a solid which is insoluble in alkali. $(X)$ is

$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} N H_{2}$

$C H_{3} - N H - C H_{2} C H_{3}$

Since the compound reacts with benzenesulphonyl chloride to give a product which is insoluble in alkali, it shows there is no $H$ attached to $N$ in the product. Hence, the compound $X$ is a secondary amine.

Q. A compound (X) with molecular formula C3​H9​N reacts with C6​H5​SO2​Cl to give a solid which is insoluble in alkali. (X) is

CH3​CH2​CH2​NH2​

CH3​−NH−CH2​CH3​

Since the compound reacts with benzenesulphonyl chloride to give a product which is insoluble in alkali, it shows there is no H attached to N in the product. Hence, the compound X is a secondary amine.

$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} N H_{2}$

$C H_{3} - N H - C H_{2} C H_{3}$

Since the compound reacts with benzenesulphonyl chloride to give a product which is insoluble in alkali, it shows there is no $H$ attached to $N$ in the product. Hence, the compound $X$ is a secondary amine.
