According to IUPAC, what is the name of #CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2#-#NH-CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3#?

Answer 1

Dibutylazane and dibutylamine are the two recognized IUPAC names for CH₃CHₖCHₖCHₖNHCHₖCHₖCHₖCH₃CH₃.

This amine has the general formula R₂NH and is symmetrical.

First Rule

The nomenclature of a symmetrical secondary amine R₂NH can be determined by referring to the substituent group R name, followed by the numerical prefix "di-", before the parent hydride name "azane".

Diabutylazane is the name because the R group is butyl.

Second Rule

One way to identify a symmetrical secondary amine R₃NH is to use the name of the substituent group R, which should come before the prefix "di-" and come after the word "amine" without any spaces.

This rule indicates that the name is dibutylamine.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
