Number the 3-carbon allyl chain from the end bearing the −NH−-NH- group; the double bond is at C2–C3.

The compound is CH2=CH−CH2−NH−CH3CH_2{=}CH{-}CH_2{-}NH{-}CH_3. The parent chain is the 3-carbon chain carrying the principal characteristic group (−NH−-NH-), i.e. propene: C1(H2N-attached)−C2=C3C1(H_2N\text{-attached})-C2{=}C3. Numbering to give the amine-bearing carbon the lowest locant: C1 bears the NHCH3NHCH_3 group, and the double bond runs between C2 and C3, so the parent is prop-2-en-1-amine. The extra methyl group on nitrogen is indicated by the italic locant N: N-methyl. …
