JEE Main 2025 — 28 January, Evening Shift — Question 39

Identify correct statements :

(A) Primary amines do not give diazonium salts when treated with NaNO2\mathrm{NaNO}_{2} in acidc condition.

(B) Aliphatic and aromatic primary amines on heating wth CHCl3\mathrm{CHCl}_{3} and ethanolic KOH form carbylamines.

(C) Secondary and tertiary amines also give carbylamine test.

(D) Benzenesulfonyl chloride is known as Hinsberg's reagent.

(E) Tertiary amines reacts with benzenesulfonyl chloride very easily.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    (B) and (D) only

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    (A) and (B) only

  3. Option C:

    (D) and (E) only

  4. Option D:

    (B) and (C) only

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

(A) R−NH2→HClNaNO2R−N2⊕Cl⊖\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{NH}_{2} \xrightarrow[\mathrm{HCl}]{\mathrm{NaNO}_{2}} \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{N}_{2}^{\oplus} \mathrm{Cl}^{\ominus}

(B)

figure

(C) Only primary amine gives carbyl amine test

(D) Ph−SO2Cl⟶\mathrm{Ph}-\mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl} \quad \longrightarrow Hinsberg reagent

Benzene sulphonyl chloride

(E) Tertiary amine do not react with Ph−SO2Cl\mathrm{Ph}-\mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}

So correct options are (B) and (D) only
