naming chemical compound CH3CH2(CH3)2CCH2NH2

Please help as the nitrogen has really confused me. Ive put 2,2 dimethylaminobutane. I dont know if this is right?
Nearly :yes: The molecule is an amine and as the only functional group you write it as the suffix -amine (instead of the prefix amino-) along with it's position on the chain.

2,2-dimethylbutylamine? :smile:


That's a valid name but probably not the systematic IUPAC name that's typically asked for at A-level. Then again this thread has no label, so I can't tell what level it is for :p:
