Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound contains a cyclohexane ring and an ethylamine functional group, with the ethyl group attached to the nitrogen atom. Based on the IUPAC naming rules, the correct name should start with "N-ethyl", followed by the name of the parent chain, which is cyclohexane. The suffix "-amine" indicates the presence of the amino group, which is attached to the second carbon atom of the cyclohexane ring. Therefore, the correct name is N-ethylcyclohexanamine.
