Q

Nomenclature of Primary Amines

A
  • Locate longest carbon chain that contains the - NH2 group.
  • Treat -NH2 group as a branch with the name amino.
  • Assign location so that the lowest possible number is used.
  • If other branches are present, number and name as with other compounds.
  • Alternate system uses ‘amine’ ending instead of amino branch name.
