The amine which reacts with p-toluenesulphonyl chloride to give a clear solution which on acidification gives insoluble compound is a primary amine such as ethyl amine C2H5NH2. C2H5NH2+CH3−C6H4−SO2−ClOH−CH3−C6H4−SO2−NHC2H5 KOHCH3−C6H4−SO2−N−C2H5K+H+CH3−C6H4−SO2−NHC2H5
It is Hinsberg's test used to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary amine.
