Which of the following is the IUPAC name of the compound in which one hydrogen of ammonia is replaced by an ethyl group?(a) Ethylamine(b) Aminoethane(c) Ethanamine(d) Ethane amineThis question was addressed to me in exam.My question is based upon Amines Nomenclature topic in division Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT option is (c) Ethanamine

The best I can explain: Ethylamine and AMINOETHANE are the names of CH3CH2NH2 according to the common system and second system respectively. In the IUPAC system, the naming is done by REPLACING the ‘e’ of the alkane by AMINE.
