How Are Amines Named

Systematic names for aliphatic amines are derived just as they are for alcohols. The suffix -e of the parent alkane is dropped and is replaced by -amine, that is, they are named alkanamines  

Write the lUPAC name or provide the structurai formuia for each amine  

When naming, iook for the iongest chain of carbons that contains the amino group. This will allow you to determine the root name. Then identify and name the substituents, the atoms or groups of atoms that are not part of that chain of carbons. 

To translate a name to a structure, identify the carbon chain from the root name and add the substituents to the correct position on the chain.
