N-methyl-2-methylpropanamide is an amide with the following structure:
Parent chain: A propanamide (CH3CH2CONH2) with a methyl group (CH3) attached to the nitrogen atom (N) and a methyl group (CH3) on the second carbon (C2) of the propyl chain.
Here's a breakdown:
N-methyl: Indicates a methyl group (CH3) is attached to the nitrogen atom.
2-methylpropanamide: Indicates a propanamide molecule with a methyl group on the second carbon atom.
The structure can be represented as:
CH3-CH(CH3)-CO-NH-CH3
