Question

Name the given carbon compound:-

Answer 1

Answer:

CH3CH2CH(NH2)-CH3

Functional Group= -NH2

Alkyl derivatives of ammonia are called amines.

Only one hydrogen atom if replaced by alkyl groups yields primary amine (1 degree)

WORD ROOT : But (for 4 carbons)

PRIMARY SUFFIXE: ane (for carbon-carbon single bond)

SECONDARY SUFFIX: -2- amine (-NH2 functional group attached in 2nd no carbon )

Therefore,

IUPAC NAME: word root + primary suffix - “e”+ amine

=But+ ane - e + -2-amine

= Butan-2-amine
