Name the longest carbon chain bearing the -NH- group as the parent "...amine", and cite the second alkyl group on nitrogen with an italic N- locant.

Structure: CH3_3–CH(CH3_3)–NH–CH3_3, i.e. (CH3_3)2_2CH–NH–CH3_3 — this is a secondary amine: an isopropyl group and a methyl group both attached to the same nitrogen.

IUPAC naming for secondary/tertiary amines:

  1. Identify the parent chain carrying the nitrogen with the longest carbon skeleton directly bonded to N: here that's the 3-carbon isopropyl fragment, CH3_3–CH(NH...)–CH3_3, named as propan-2-amine (amine group on C-2 of propane). …
