Three permissible names are pentan-1-amine, pentylamine, and pentylazane.

The IUPAC allows three different names for primary amines.

IUPAC Name

Parent name of alkane + suffix "-amine" with locant, if required.

This gives the name pentan-1-amine.

Functional-Parent Name

Alkyl group + suffix "-amine"

This gives the name pentylamine

Substitutive Name

Alkyl group + suffix "-azane"

This gives the name pentylazane.
