Q 1 :

Following is a confirmatory test for aromatic primary amines. Identify reagent (A) and (B).                    [2024]

(4)

The presence of Aromatic primary amines is confirmed by azo dye test. Primary amine e.g., aniline reacts with nitrous acid generated in situ by the reaction of sodium nitrite with HCl at 0–5°C to produce diazonium salt. This couples with β-naphthol to give a scarlet red dye, which is sparingly soluble in water.



Q 2 :

Given below are two statements:                                                                                    [2024]

Statement (I): All the following compounds react with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride.

C6H5NH2                    (C6H5)2NH                        (C6H5)3N

Statement (II): Their products in the above reaction are soluble in aqueous NaOH.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below. 

  • Statement I is true but Statement II is false

     

  • Both Statement I and Statement II are true

     

  • Statement I is false but Statement II is true

     

  • Both Statement I and Statement II are false

     

(4)

Primary amines react with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (Hinsberg’s reagent) to form sulphonamides which are soluble in NaOH. Secondary amines react with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride to form sulphonamides which are insoluble in NaOH. Tertiary amines do not react with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride.

 



Q 3 :

Number of compounds which give reaction with Hinsberg’s reagent is _______.                   [2024]



(5)

Primary and secondary (aliphatic or aromatic) amines react with Hinsberg’s reagent (benzene sulfonyl chloride) to form sulphonamides which are insoluble in water but soluble in ether. Sulphonamides formed by primary amines have acidic hydrogen, hence are soluble in aqueous KOH. Sulphonamides formed by secondary amines do not have acidic hydrogen, hence are insoluble in aqueous KOH. Tertiary amines do not react with Hinsberg’s reagent.

So among the given options, compounds that react with Hinsberg’s reagent are primary and secondary amines (aliphatic or aromatic).



Q 4 :

Number of amine compounds from the following giving solids which are soluble in NaOH upon reaction with Hinsberg’s reagent is _______.             [2024]



(5)

(B)(C) Carbylamine reaction - Aliphatic and aromatic primary amines on heating with chloroform and ethanolic potassium hydroxide form isocyanides or carbylamines which are foul smelling substances. Secondary and tertiary amines do not show this reaction. This reaction is known as carbylamine reaction or isocyanide test and is used as a test for primary amines.
