This is the condensed structural formula for
N,N
-dimethylpropanamide (or isobutyramide). Here's a breakdown:
CC(C)C(=O)N(C)C: This represents the carbon chain with a carbonyl group (C=O) and an amide group (N-C=O).
CC(C): This indicates an isopropyl group (CH(CH3)2) attached to the carbonyl carbon.
N(C)C: This represents a dimethylamino group (N(CH3)2) attached to the carbonyl carbon.
Therefore, the molecule is a branched amide with a three-carbon chain.
