The correct IUPAC name of the given compound is:
- N-dimethyl 1-methyl-1-ethyl propane
- 3-methyl-3(N, N-dimethyl amino) pentane
- N-dimethyl amino-3-methyl pentane
- 3, N, N - trimethyl-3-pentanamine
Correct answer: 3, N, N - trimethyl-3-pentanamine
Solution
The parent chain is pentane, and the amino group is attached at carbon 3. Because the nitrogen has two methyl groups, the correct prefix is N,N-dimethyl, giving 3,N,N-trimethyl-3-pentanamine as the systematic name.
