Question:

. Number of different $\text{H}$-atoms in $(\text{Y})$

Show Hint

Hinsberg's test differentiates primary, secondary, and tertiary amines based on the nature of the sulfonamide product: $1^\circ$ amine product is soluble in base, $2^\circ$ amine product is insoluble, and $3^\circ$ amine does not react. Counting unique $\text{H}$ environments requires analyzing chemical equivalence and symmetry.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Aniline reacts with $CHCl_3/KOH$ to give phenyl isocyanide (carbylamine reaction), which has foul smell. Step 2: Aniline reacts with benzene sulphonyl chloride to form sulphonamide (Hinsberg reaction): \[ Ph-NH_2 + Ph-SO_2Cl \rightarrow Ph-SO_2-NH-Ph \] Step 3: This sulphonamide has acidic N–H proton and dissolves in $NaOH$ forming soluble salt. Step 4: Structure of $Y = Ph-SO_2-NH-Ph$. Step 5: Different hydrogen environments: \begin{itemize} \item One N–H hydrogen \item Three types (ortho, meta, para) on first phenyl ring \item Three types (ortho, meta, para) on second phenyl ring \end{itemize} Step 6: Total different hydrogens $= 1+3+3=7$. Hence, correct answer is 7.
