Amines

Question:

Describe a method for the identification of primary, secondary and tertiary amines. Also write chemical equations of the reactions involved.

Answer:

The three type of amines can be distinguished by Hinsberg test. In this test, the amine is shaken with benzenesulphonyt chloride (C6H5SO2Cl) in the presence of excess of aqueous NaOH or KOH. A primary amine reacts to give a clear solution, which on acidification yields an insoluble compound.
