Question:

Primary, secondary and tertiary amines can be separated using :-

  1. Para-Toluene sulphonyl chloride

  2. Chloroform and $\mathrm{KOH}$

  3.  Benzene sulphonic acid

  4. Acetyl amide


Correct Option: 1

Solution:

Primary amines react with Para Toluene sulfonyl chloride to form a precipitate that is soluble in $\mathrm{NaOH}$.

Secondary amines reacts with para toluene sulfonyl chloride to give a precipitate that is insoluble in $\mathrm{NaOH}$. Tertiary amines do not react with para toluen.
