Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound shown in the figure is a benzene ring with an amino group (-NH2) attached to it. According to IUPAC nomenclature rules, when an amino group is attached to a benzene ring, the compound is named as aniline. Therefore, the correct answer is C) aniline. Option A is incorrect because it refers to a benzene ring with an amino group attached to the second carbon, which is not the case here. Option B is incorrect because it refers to a cyclohexene ring with an amino group attached to the second carbon, which is also not the case here. Option D and E are incorrect because they use incorrect terminologies, as ammonia is not used to name compounds with amino groups.
