IUPAC name of C6H5 - CH2 - CH2 - NH2 is:
Correct answer: A. 2-phenyl ethanamine
- A. 2-phenyl ethanamine
- B. 2-phenyl ethanamide
- C. 2-phenyl ethenamine
- D. 3-phenyl ethanamine
Explanation
The compound C6H5−CH2−CH2−NH2 is an amine. The parent hydrocarbon is ethane. The substituent (phenyl group) is present at a second carbon atom.Hence, the IUPAC name is 2-phenylethanamine.
