What's the name of this organic structure
To name this organic structure, we need to identify the functional groups and count the number of carbon atoms in the longest carbon chain.
Starting from the left side of the structure, we can see that the longest continuous carbon chain has 6 carbon atoms. This is known as a hexane chain.
Next, we identify the functional groups attached to the main chain. There are two ethyl (C2H5) groups, one oxygen atom (O), and one amino group (NH2).
Putting it all together, the name for this organic structure is 2,2'-oxydiethanamine. The prefix "oxy" is used to indicate the oxygen atom, and "diethanamine" indicates the presence of two ethyl groups and an amino group.
Note: It's a good practice to number the carbon atoms in the main chain in such a way that the functional groups have the lowest possible numbers. However, since there are no branches in this structure, numbering is not necessary.
