Question

What is the IUPAC name of the following compound?

a) 

N-propylpentanamine
 

b) 

N,N-diethyl-1-propanamine
 

c) 

diethylpropylamine
 

d) 

N,N-ethylpropanamine
The image depicts the chemical structure of Diethylamine, an organic compound and a secondary amine with the formula (C2H5)2NH. It consists of two ethyl groups (C2H5) bonded to a nitrogen atom (N), arranged as follows:

1. The central nitrogen atom (N) forms three bonds:
   - Two bonds are with the carbon atoms of two ethyl groups.
   - One bond links the nitrogen atom to a hydrogen atom.

2. The ethyl groups are linear chains of two carbon atoms each, with bonds arranged in a zigzag pattern:
   - The first ethyl group starts from the nitrogen moving left, bonding to two carbons serially connected.
   - The second ethyl group starts from the nitrogen moving right, bonding to two carbons similarly connected.

This molecular structure is common in organic chemistry and has various applications, including intermediates in synthesis processes and in the production of local anesthetics.
