The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The amine is treated with benzenesulphonyl chloride and shaken with alkali solution when the three amine because in different way. Primary amine from alkyl benzesulphoramide which dissolve in alkali to from sodium potassium salt of mono alkyl benzene sulphoramide. Secondary amine from dialkali benzene, in soluble in alkali solution and tertiary amines do not react with benzene sulphonyl chloride at all.

Structure of Amines

The structure of Amines is shown below:

Alkyl Amines:

Alkylamines consist of tetrahedral nitrogen centers where the C-N-H and C-N-C bond angle is 109°. The distance between C-N bonds is smaller in comparison to the C-C range. The amines can also display a chiral property wherein the center of the nitrogen atom holds for replacements which creates solo pairs.

The bond angle in the case of trimethylamine is 108° which results in the Pyramidal structure of trimethylamine-

Aromatic Amine:

Due to the mixture of the solo pair with the aryl substituent, nitrogen nearly has a planar structure in aromatic amines. The C-N range is very short. In aniline, the distance between C-N bonds is similar to the distance between C-C bonds.
