Naming Amines for A-level Chemistry using IUPAC rules

The alternative naming system for structure 1 for example would be butylamine as opposed to butan-1-amine like I have described in the video. According to OCR (via a tweet to me) they would accept wither in the A-level exams BUT the IUPAC version (described in this video) is now preferred.

Also ... I am fully aware that some of my molymod strucutres were missing C-H groups (haha), but thanks to Alexa responding to certain words in this tutorial, it already took way longer than expected to record/edit it so I decided to leave them.

Topics are organised by OCR module in the correct sequence of the specification.

Hi at 2:07 you mentioned how the name would be Butan-2-amine but with accordance to the ocr ALEVEL chemistry textbook they said that when the NH2 group is not on carbon 1 is becomes a substituent and becomes amino so wouldn’t it be called 2-aminobutane ?

5:30 you know here how you mentioned if they were different chain lengths like an ethyl and a methyl and you name them alphabetically, could you tell me what the name of the structure would be then ? :)
Would we still need to put the double N, N in front ?

Very useful video thank you! Helped alot. Just wondering would you need to know how to name a molecule with two secondary amines? Or is that not part of the syllabus, thanks :)

can you call the last one 1, 2-diaminobutane
