Answer
2-ethylpentanamine
Work Step by Step
1. Find the parent chain and where we should start counting the carbons:
The parent chain has to contain the amine group (NH2), and it has to be as large as possible, so the 2 carbons on the top will not be part of it.
We should start counting from the carbon that has the amine group.
2. Functional group:
- 1 Amine group on the carbon number 1: "amine"
3. Insaturations and number of carbons on the parent chain:
- No insaturations: "an"
- 5 carbons in the parent chain: "pent".
4. Substitutents:
- 1 ethyl group on the carbon number 2: "2-ethyl"
5. Stereoisomerism:
No stereoisomerism (No double bonds).
6. Put them all together:
2-ethylpentanamine.
