amines are organic nitrogen compounds formed by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms of ammonia (NH3) with alkyl group.

find the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms determine the root name

the -e in alkane name is changed to -amine, and a number shows the position of the amino group along the chain.

other substituents on the carbon chain are given numbers, and the prefix N- is used for each substituent on nitrogen.

the prefix amino is used to indicate the presence of an -NH2 group in a molecule containing more than one functional group or in compound with complicated structure.

-e in cycloalkane name is changed to -amine

amino group is assumed to be on C1

aromatic amine have an amine group (-NH2) attached directly to the aromatic ring.

aromatic amines known as arylamines

compounds with 2 -NH2 groups are named by adding the suffix 'diamine' to the name of the corresponding alkane or aromatic compounds
