All four structures are amines; IUPAC names are assigned using the substitutive '-amine' suffix (or 'N,N-di...' prefixes for N-substituents), naming the parent chain/ring and locating the -NH2/-NR2 group.

(a) NH2−CH2−CH=CH2NH_2-CH_2-CH=CH_2

This is a 3-carbon chain with a terminal −NH2-NH_2 group on C1 and a C2=C3 double bond. Numbering to give the lowest locants (amine gets priority for numbering as the principal characteristic group along with the double bond being included), the parent chain is prop-2-ene with the amine at C1.

IUPAC name: Prop-2-en-1-amine (common name: allylamine).

(b) C2H5−N(C2H5)−CH2−CH2−CH2−CH3C_2H_5-N(C_2H_5)-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3

Here the central nitrogen atom bears three substituents: two ethyl (C2H5−C_2H_5-) groups and one butyl chain (−CH2CH2CH2CH3-CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3, i.e., a butan-1-yl/n-butyl group). This is a tertiary amine. Taking the longest chain attached to N (the butyl chain) as the parent (butan-1-amine) and naming the two ethyl groups on nitrogen as N-substituents:

IUPAC name: N,N-Diethylbutan-1-amine.

(c) Benzene ring with −NH2-NH_2 and −Br-Br (para to each other)
