Hmm... I know how to draw 2,2 dimethylpropan-1-amine... what did you exactly mean by N, N

Or perhaps I've not done so yet at school...

I don't know, I was thinking the same thing
Because I did one for 2,2,3-trimethylhexane
So I know how to do them kind of ones
But this NN business has well confused me

I originally did

H
H HCH H H H
H - C - C - N - C - C - C - H
H H H H H


That was like 6 months ago though, so I really don't know wer I got that from :/

Drew it on Paint, saved it, go to Manage Attachments on Go advanced button below the posting box and uploaded the pic. I know.. the forum removes spaces if you put many.

Hope my sketch helped! :)

The N,N-dimethyl indicates that the dimethyls are attached to the amine nitrogen, as Unknown008 drew it.

I think Unknown008 and I would appreciate it if you would remember us in your will ;)
