Solution
The correct option is C Aniline
Primary amines on reacting with Hinsberg's reagent gives benzene sulphonamide which has acidic proton attached to N atom and is soluble in alkali like KOH.
Here, isopropylamine and aniline are primary amines.
Thus, reaction of Hinsberg’s reagent with Isopropylamine and aniline gives N-isopropylbenzene sulphonamide and N-phenylbenzene sulphonamide respectively. The lone hydrogen attached to the N atom is strongly acidic due to the presence of strong electron withdrawing sulphonyl group. Hence, they are soluble in alkali like KOH.
Hence, option (a) and (c) are correct.
