What's with the allyloxy? and can you think of a ghetto hypothetical name for this, it looks very strange. why not try the amine on the left position instead of where it's at (it's currently at the same spot it'd be on 2C-B-IND but the guys on the last page said the amine would be better to the side)
Obviously I know nothing at all about this.
I'm not too sure here, but possibly 2-(5-allyloxy-2,3-dihydro-4,6-dimethoxy-1H-inden-1-yl)ethanamine?
2-(X-1-yl)ethanamine would mean you have a complicated structure connected to ethylamine. The 1-yl is indicating that the bond between the complicated thing and the ethylamine falls at the 1-position on the complicated thing, and the 2-(...) means that the bond between the complicated thing and the ethylamine is off of the 2-carbon of the ethylamine.
Then for the 'complicated thing' you'd have indane, which is 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene, and the substituents are two dimethoxies and an allyloxy, so alphabetically you'd have 5-allyloxy-2,3-dihydro-4,6-dimethoxy-1H-indene, chop off the final 'e' and replace with 1-yl, and yeah, 2-(5-allyloxy-2,3-dihydro-4,6-dimethoxy-1H-inden-1-yl)ethanamine.
Is this as wrong as I expect it to be? There's *always* a gotcha when it comes to IUPAC...
EDIT: Oops, shit that's a methylamine not an ethylamine! So (5-allyloxy-2,3-dihydro-4,6-dimethoxy-1H-inden-1-yl)methanamine, not what I wrote earlier. I guess we could be picky and put it as (2,3-dihydro-4,6-dimethoxy-1H-5-[prop-2-en-1-yloxy]-inden-1-yl)methanamine but come on, just call it allyloxy! Or for that matter instead of this 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene nonsense just call it indane and get (5-allyloxy-4,6-dimethoxyindan-1-yl)methanamine. Blah.. or not.
