The name of the compound should be written as
#"ethyl " "4-aminobenzoate"# and its structure should be

#H_2N-C_6H_4-COOC_2H_5# Here the #NH_2# group is attached in the benzene ring at the 4 or para position with respect to ethylcarboxylate group.

When #HCl# is reacted with the compound an acid base reaction occurs with #NH_2# group and #HCl# forming hydrochloride salt of the compound.
