Identify the incorrect name of the aromatic primary amine with the formula C7H9N.(a) Benzenamine(b) Benzylamine(c) Phenylaminomethane(d) PhenylmethanamineThe question was posed to me in final exam.The above asked question is from Amines Nomenclature in chapter Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) BENZENAMINE

Easy explanation: Since it is an AROMATIC compound, the phenyl group C6H5 has to present with CH4N. Since it is a PRIMARY AMINE, the group NH2 can be SEPARATED leaving us with CH2. So, the formula of the compound is C6H5CH2NH2, which is benzylamine. Benzenamine has the formula C6H5NH2.
