PROBLEM 25.35 - Organic Chemistry

Question

Question: Give a systematic or common name for each compound.

        

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Answer

a. 3,5-dimethyl-1-heptanamine

 

b. N, N-diethylcycloheptananime

Rules for nomenclature of amines

1. Select the longest carbon chain including the nitrogen or parent nitrogen derivative atom.
2. Number the chain such that substituents get the lowest possible number.
3. Name the substituents in alphabetical order with an appropriate prefix followed by the parent chain name.

systematic name of the compound

(a) The structure of the compound is as follows:

Bond structure of compound (a)

(b The longest carbon chain contains seven carbon atoms and two methyl groups are present on carbon 3 and 5.

 Therefore, the name of the compounds is 3,5-dimethyl-1-heptanamine or 3,5-dimethyl-1-heptylamine.

(b) The structure of the compound is as follows:

Bond structure of compound (b)

 

 In the compound, the nitrogen atom is attached to the two ethyl groups and one cycloheptyl group.

 Therefore, the name of the compounds is N, N-diethylcycloheptananime or N, N-diethyl cycloheptylamine.
