CH₂=CH–CH₂–NH–CH₃ is named as a propene chain bearing an amine at C1 and an N-methyl substituent, giving N-methylprop-2-en-1-amine.

Structure: CH₂=CH–CH₂–NH–CH₃

  1. Identify the parent chain: the longest carbon chain containing the –NH– nitrogen's point of attachment is the 3-carbon allyl chain, CH₂=CH–CH₂–, which as a substituted amine is named as prop-2-en-1-amine (double bond between C2–C3, amine at C1).
  2. The nitrogen carries an extra methyl substituent (–CH₃) instead of a second hydrogen, so this substituent is cited with the italic locant N- to show it is on nitrogen, not on the carbon chain: N-methyl.
  3. Combine: N-methylprop-2-en-1-amine. …
