    Nope it’s amin according to Google.

    That’s why I ask. Americans call it “acetaminophen”, but compound doesn’t have amino-group and instead had amido-group.

    IUPAC calls it as what it is: N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)acetamide

    EDIT: my guess is that america uses another nomenclature for organic chemistry. As usual. Do they have compound called “freedom eagle guns”? I’m so used to amine meaning specifically R-NH2 and nothing else.

      Idk I’m not a chemist. I thought the whole point of scientific standards was that everyone used the same name/units but we don’t even spell meter right in the states.
