Question

names for the amines shown below, using the naming styles taught in the McMurry text, or by your professor. Incorrect. First, name the alkyl groups. For example, the term methyl indicates a one-carbon alkyl group. List the alkyl groups, followed by the term amine. If the alkyl groups are different, the larger R group forms the parent chain; the remaining R group is designated as an N-substituent. If the alkyl groups are the same, use the prefixes di or tri to indicate the number of substituents. These compounds are amines.

Explanation / Answer

N-methylethanamine N-ethyletanamine As ethane has two carbons, and both can be at 1 position, you should not number them.
