Question

What is the IUPAC name for the compound shown below? ch3ch2ch2cnhch2ch3

Answer 1

Answer:

The name is Hexan-3-imine

Explanation:

The systematic name is formed by a prefix, which indicates the number of atoms of  carbon that contains the molecule, and a suffix, which indicates the class of compound  organic in question.

You must first look for the chain  main, which is the chain with the highest amount of carbons. In this case the chain main contains six carbons. This means that the prefix used is Hex-

This case is an alkane (they have only single- bonds between carbons and hydrogen), so you use de suffix -ane

The carbon atoms of the main chain are numbered starting  at the end closest to branching, so that the  carbons with branches have the lowest possible number. In this case the branching is -NH, is in the position 3 and the name is imine.

So, knowing all this, you can name the compound like Hexan-3-imine

Answer 2

We need the  IUPAC name of the given compound.

The IUPAC name is: Hexan-3-imine.

The molecule has six carbon atoms in its skeleton. C=NH bond is attached to the skeleton at 3-position.

The functional group present in this molecule is imine (C=NH).
