Question

Write the systematic (IUPAC) names for the amines shown below. The names should have the format alkanamine H3C-CH2-N- CH2CH3 CH2 CH2 CH3 H3C-NCH2 CH3 H3C-CH2CH2CH2 amines. These compounds are Select answer

Answer 1

CH2 CH2 CH3 IUPAC name is: N,N-diethyl-1-propanamine Explanation: The number of carbon atoms in the longest carbon chain are 3 so the rootword is prop-. Two ethyl groups are located on nitrogen atom and the functional group is amine so the name is N,N-diethyl-1 propanamine H2 H2 H2 IUPAC name is: N-ethyl-N-methyl-1-butanamine Explanation: The number of carbon atoms in the longest carbon chain are 4 so the rootword is but- An ethyl group is located on nitrogen atom and a methyl group is located on nitrogen atom and the functional group is amine so the name is N-ethyl-N-methyl-1-butanamine

These compounds are tertiary amines.

Explanation: If nitrogen atom is attached to three alkyl groups then it is called tertiary amine.
