Question #10013

Answer 1

Here the compound is an amide derivative of propanoic acid,containing a di-alkyl substituted `-CONH_2` group.

The original amide contains three carbon atoms .
So root name is prop and it being saturated one 'ane' and "amide' suffixes are to be added after it giving the name propanamide. But two ethyl groups replace two `H` atoms linked with `N` atomof amide group `-CONH_2`.Hence adding a prefix - N,N-diethyl we get the following name of the compound

`N,N-"diethylpropanamide"`
