What is the iupac name of CH3-CH2-CH2-NH2

Answer 1

IUPAC name of this compound is Propan-1-amine 

Answer 2

The IUPAC name of $\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{NH}_{2}$ is Propane-1-amine.

Explanation:

• To write the IUPAC name of a compound, the following things must be first identified they are:  

1. Number of carbons
2. Nature of bond
3. Functional group whose name must be written as suffix of the compound.

• Accordingly, when the given structure is examined, it gives the following details:

1. There are 3 carbon atoms present in the chain. Thus the root word is -Prop.
2. Since all the carbon has single bond, the nature of bond is -ane.
3. The functional group attached is -$NH_2$. Thus the suffix is '-amine'. It is located on first carbon.
4. While numbering, the numbering should be done in such a way that the main functional group gets the lowest number.
5. In the given case, the main functional group is $-NH_2$. Thus numbering must start form it as shown in the attachment.

• Thus the IUPAC name of $\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{NH}_{2}$ is identified as Propane-1-amine.
