Verified step by step guidance

Identify the longest carbon chain that contains the amine group. In this structure, the longest chain is a hexane chain, which is 6 carbons long.

Number the carbon chain starting from the end nearest to the amine group to give the lowest possible number to the amine group. The amine group is attached to the third carbon.

Identify and name the substituents attached to the main carbon chain. There is a methyl group attached to the second carbon and a propyl group attached to the nitrogen atom.

Combine the names of the substituents with the main chain. The substituents are named in alphabetical order, and the position of each substituent is indicated by a number. The methyl group is on the second carbon, and the propyl group is attached to the nitrogen, so it is indicated as N-propyl.

Construct the full name by combining the substituents and the main chain name, ensuring the correct placement of numbers and prefixes. The systematic name is 2-methyl-N-propyl-3-hexanamine.
