Explanation:
When an organic compound with one or more hydrogen atoms of the ammonia molecule is replaced with an alkyl or even an aryl group, these compounds are classified as amines, These are carbon atoms which are bonded to the nitrogen atom and their bond is quite strong. Amines are similarly divided into 3 different types; which are:
Primary amine
Secondary amine
Tertiary amine
Once it bonds with 2 carbon atoms it is called as a secondary amine and when it bonds with 3, it is called as a tertiary amine. Primary, Secondary and Tertiary amines all show different chemical properties and also have physical, observable changes. They are mainly used in industrial and commercial applications.
The Hinsberg Test, Which Can Distinguish Primary, Secondary, And Tertiary Amines, Is Based Upon Sulfonamide Formation. In The Hinsberg Test, An Amine Is Reacted With Benzene Sulfonyl Chloride. If A Product Forms, The Amine Is Either A Primary Or Secondary Amine, Because Tertiary Amines Do Not Form Stable Sulfonamides.
