Answer
(4) 4
Solution
Hinsberg's reagent = benzenesulphonyl chloride (C6H5SO2Cl).
1° amine C6H5SO2NHR: the H on N is acidic, so it dissolves in alkali.
2° amine C6H5SO2NR2: no H on N, so it is insoluble in alkali.
3° amine does not react.
1° amines: aniline, methanamine, phenylmethanamine, allylamine, isopropylamine (alkali-soluble products).
3° amines: N,N-dimethylmethanamine, N,N-dimethylaniline (no reaction).
2° amines: N-methylaniline, N-methylmethanamine, N-propylaniline, N-phenylaniline
Number of alkali-insoluble sulphonamides = 4
