Question

A mixture of methylamine and dimethylamine is given to you. The reagents used to separate the components of the mixture are (A) CHCl3 and HCl (B) C6H5SO2Cl and KOH (C) C6H5SO2Cl and HCl (D) CHCl3 and KOH

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

A mixture of methylamine (1° amine) and dimethylamine (2° amine) can be separated with the help of

C_{6} H_{5} S O_{2} Cl

and KOH (Hinsberg's method).
Methylamine will form N-methylbenzenesulphonamide which is soluble in KOH. Dimethylamine will form N,N dimcthylbenzene sulphonamide which is insoluble in KOH.
