In the Hinsberg method for separation of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, the reagent used is:
Show Hint
In the Hinsberg test, primary amines form soluble sulfonamide salts, secondary amines form insoluble salts, and tertiary amines do not react with benzenesulfonyl chloride.
The Hinsberg method is used for the separation of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. The reagent used in this method is \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}\), commonly known as benzenesulfonyl chloride. This reagent reacts differently with primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, forming soluble or insoluble derivatives based on the amine type.
