Which of the following names of amines belong strictly to the common system?(a) Ethylmethylamine(b) Aniline(c) Benzenamine(d) Propan-1-amineI had been asked this question in an international level competition.Query is from Amines Nomenclature topic in division Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) Ethylmethylamine

To explain: In the common system, aliphatic amines are named by prefixing the alkyl group to amine, i.e., alkylamine. In case of two DIFFERENT alkyl groups, it is named by LISTING the alkyl groups in alphabetical order before the word amine, just LIKE in ethylmethylamine. Aniline is a common name but is also accepted by IUPAC.
