Question
A compound Z with molecular formula C3H9N reacts with C6H5SO2Cl to give a solid, insoluble in alkali. Identify Z.

Answer
Compound 'Z' with molecular formula C3H9N is an aliphatic amine which on treatment with C6H5SO2Cl gives a solid, insoluble in alkali. Therefore, the product does not have any replaceable hydrogen on the nitrogen atom. In other words, the amines (Z) must be secondary amine, i.e., Z is ethyl methylamine (C2H5NHCH3).
