What is the IUPAC name for the compound shown below? ch3ch2ch2cnhch2ch3

The name is Hexan-3-imine

Explanation:

The systematic name is formed by a prefix, which indicates the number of atoms of carbon that contains the molecule, and a suffix, which indicates the class of compound organic in question.

You must first look for the chain main, which is the chain with the highest amount of carbons. In this case the chain main contains six carbons. This means that the prefix used is Hex-

This case is an alkane (they have only single - bonds between carbons and hydrogen), so you use de suffix - ane

The carbon atoms of the main chain are numbered starting at the end closest to branching, so that the carbons with branches have the lowest possible number. In this case the branching is - NH, is in the position 3 and the name is imine.

So, knowing all this, you can name the compound like Hexan-3-imine
