Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Hinsberg reagent/benzenesulphonyl chloride on reaction with primary amine ethylamine yields N-Ethylbenzene sulphonamide. The hydrogen attached to N-Ethylbenzene sulphonamide is acidic in nature. This is due to the presence of strong electron withdrawing sulphonyl group. Hence, it is soluble in alkali.
