Rule 1. Amines can be named as derivatives of alkylamines or alkanoamines. Let's see some examples.

amine nomenclature1

Ethylamine (Ethanamine)

Cyclopentylamine (Cyclopentanamine)

(Pent-2-yl)amine (Pentan-2-amine)

Rule 2. If a radical is repeated several times, it is indicated with the prefixes di-, tri-,...
If the amine carries different radicals, they are named alphabetically.

amine nomenclature2

trimethylamine

ethylmethylpropylamine

Isopropylmethylamine

Rule 3. The substituents attached directly to nitrogen carry the locant N. If there are two substituted amino groups in the molecule, N,N' is used.

amine nomenclature3

N,N-Dimethylpentanamine

N,N'-Dimethylpentane-1,5-diamine

Rule 4. When the amine is not the functional group, it is renamed amino-. Most of the functional groups have priority over the amine (acids and derivatives, carbonyls, alcohols)

amine nomenclature4

6-Aminoheptan-2-one

3-Aminocyclohexanol

Methyl 4-Aminocyclohexanecarboxylate
