The IUPAC name of the compound is:

1. 2 - Methyl -4 - hexanamine
2. 5- Methyl - 3 - hexanamine
3. 2 - Methyl -4 - amino hexane
4. \( 5- \) Methyl -3 - amino hexane

Correct answer: 2 - Methyl -4 - hexanamine

Solution

The amino group is the principal functional group, so it must be named with the suffix "-anamine" and given the lowest possible number. Numbering the hexane chain accordingly places the amino group at C-4 and the methyl substituent at C-2, giving 2-methyl-4-hexanamine.
