Accepted Answer
N-methyl-2-dimethylpropanamide is an amide with the following structural features:
Parent Chain: The parent chain is a propanamide, meaning it has a three-carbon chain with a carboxamide functional group (-CONH2) attached to the second carbon.
Substitution: On the nitrogen atom of the amide group, there is a methyl group (-CH3) attached, hence the "N-methyl." On the second carbon of the parent chain, there are two methyl groups (-CH3) attached, leading to the "2-dimethylpropanamide" portion of the name.
