The correct IUPAC name for CH2=CHCH2 NHCH3 is ______________.

The main carbon chain has 3 carbon atoms, so it is ‘prop’, and the carbon adjacent to the N atom would be named as 1. Then there is one double bond in the second carbon position (en) and 1 N-methyl amine in the first carbon position.

Therefore IUPAC name is N-methylprop-2-en-1-amine.
