Explanation

CH3NHCH2CH3

This compound is a secondary amine. The longest carbon chain attached to the nitrogen serves as the basis for the parent chain, which in this case is ethane (2 Carbon length), thus the parent chain is ethanamine. The other alkyl group (methyl) will be prefixed as a substituent with "N" as location identifier. These are in accordance with the IUPAC rules for nomenclature. See the structure below:

Answer

N-methylethanamine
