What is the name for ch3-ch2-ch2-nh2?

Answer 1

IUPAC name: 1-aminopropane

Common name: n-Propylamine

This is a primary amine - since the N is only bonded to one C in the CH2 group.

To come up with IUPAC name, you name it as you would an alkane. This has a three carbon chain which makes it propane. You add the amino in front of propane. The 1 indicates what carbon the NH2 is bonded to.

To come up with common name, you name the alkyl group, followed by the word amine. So, CH3, CH2, CH2 is propyl - add an amine at end. Propylamine is correct, but n-propylamine is more correct.
