Which one of the products of the following reactions does not react with Hinsberg reagent to form sulphonamide?
Hinsberg reagent is:
$$\mathrm{C_6H_5SO_2Cl}$$
(benzenesulfonyl chloride)
It reacts with:
$$\mathrm{1^\circ\ and\ 2^\circ\ amines}$$
but does not react with:
$$\mathrm{3^\circ\ amines,\ aldehydes,\ ketones}$$
(A)
$$\mathrm{p\text{-}NO_2C_6H_4CN \xrightarrow{Na/Hg,\ C_2H_5OH}}$$
Both:
$$\mathrm{-NO_2 \rightarrow -NH_2}$$
and
$$\mathrm{-CN \rightarrow -CH_2NH_2}$$
Product contains primary amine groups.
Hence, it reacts with Hinsberg reagent.
(B)
$$\mathrm{C_6H_5CN \xrightarrow[\ H_2O\ ]{SnCl_2/HCl} C_6H_5CHO}$$
This is the Stephen reaction.
Product formed is benzaldehyde:
$$\mathrm{C_6H_5CHO}$$
which is an aldehyde.
Hence, it does not react with Hinsberg reagent.
(C)
$$\mathrm{p\text{-}CNC_6H_4CHO \xrightarrow[\ H_3O^+\ ]{LiAlH_4}}$$
$$\mathrm{-CN \rightarrow -CH_2NH_2}$$
$$\mathrm{-CHO \rightarrow -CH_2OH}$$
Product contains a primary amine.
Hence, it reacts with Hinsberg reagent.
(D)
$$\mathrm{m\text{-}CH_3C_6H_4CN \xrightarrow{H_2/Ni}}$$
$$\mathrm{-CN \rightarrow -CH_2NH_2}$$
Product formed is a primary amine.
Hence, it reacts with Hinsberg reagent.
Therefore, the only product that does not react with Hinsberg reagent is:
$$\boxed{\mathrm{Option\ B}}$$
