Answer 2

Answer : The IUPAC name of $(CH_3CH_2)_2-N-CH_3$ is, N-ethyl-N-methylethanamine.

Explanation :

The IUPAC naming rules are :

• To determine the longest carbon chain.
• The carbon nearest to the substituent gets the numbered 1.
• One methyl and one ethyl group are attached with N, so their position is written as ‘N-’ itself.

So, the IUPAC name of $(CH_3CH_2)_2-N-CH_3$ is, N-ethyl-N-methylethanamine.
