We can apply Hinsberg's test to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary amines.
Primary amine reacts with benzenesulphonyl chloride forming N-alkyl benzenesulphonamide, which is soluble in alkali.
Secondary amine reacts with benzenesulphonyl chloride forming N, N-dialkyl benzenesulphonamide, which is insoluble in alkali.
