7. II.Nomenclature A.Primary Amines CH 3 NH 2 methanamine CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 1-butanamine For the common name, name the alkyl group bonded to the N atom with the suffix “-amine.” CH 3 NH 2 CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 Common Name: methylaminebutylamine Systematic Name:

8. Amines B.Secondary and Tertiary Amines 1.When the substituents (alkyl groups) are identical: 2.When substituents (alkyl groups) not identical: Example Name the following 2 o amine: CH 3 CHCH 3 NH CH 3 N-methyl-2-propanamine

9. Amines C.Aromatic Rings with N attached Reminder: An NH 2 group is called an amino group when named as a substituent.
