How do you name imines?

You name imines as alkane-substituted imines.

Imines are compounds with a ##"C=N"## double bond.

Their general formula is ##"R"_2"C=NR"##.

Here are some examples with their names:

##"CH"_3"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH=NH"## ##"hexan-1-imine"##

##("CH"_3"CH"_2)_2"CHCH=NCH"_2"CH"_3## ##N,2"-diethylbutan-1-imine"##

##("CH"_3)_2"C=NH"## ##"propan-2-imine"##

If another group in the molecule has a higher priority, the group is named as an imino substituent. For example,

##"H"_2"NCH"_2"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH=NH"## ##"4-iminobutan-1-amine"##
