As you can see this forum does not allow spaces. Anything over one space is ignored so drawing structures is almost impossible although with some footwork i can be done as in the next response for you. I thin the easy way to do this kind of question is to write the formula as in
CH3CH2CH(NH2)CH3 and that would be methyl propyl amine although I don't believe that's the IUPAC name for it.
I believe the IUPAC name is
2-aminobutane
To determine the IUPAC name for the given molecule, follow these steps:
1. Identify the longest carbon chain: In this case, the longest continuous carbon chain is the one with six carbons, going from the leftmost carbon on the top to the rightmost carbon on the bottom.
2. Number the carbon chain: Start numbering from one end of the chain that gives the substituents (chlorine atoms) the lowest possible numbers. In this case, start from the left side (top carbon) and go downward, giving the first carbon on the top a number of 1, and so on. The carbons on the bottom should have numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
3. Identify and name the substituents: In this case, we have two chlorine atoms (Cl) attached to the second carbon from the top and the fifth carbon from the top. Use the prefixes "di-" or "tri-" when there are multiple substituents of the same kind. Therefore, the substituents should be named as 2,5-dichloro.
4. Write the complete IUPAC name: Based on the steps above, the IUPAC name for the molecule can be determined as follows:
2,5-dichlorohexane
Note: The bottom part of the molecule where chlorines are attached to ethane (CH3-CH2-CH3) does not affect the naming of the main chain since it is separate from the six-carbon chain.
