We discussed how to name and draw amines and amides, and compared their properties to those of alkanes.  The method for naming amines is incorrect in the text.  The longest carbon chain bonded to the nitrogen is the main chain.  Replace the -e of the alkane name with the carbon number to which the nitrogen is bonded, then the suffix -amine.  Alkyl groups bonded to the nitrogen are given the location -N-.  E.g. N,4-dimethylhexan-2-amine
