Talk:Aminomethyl group

Considering its use by IUPAC, I understand that "aminomethyl" is \sCH2\sNH2. Right? However I have seen some papers where that name is used for \sNH\sCH3. This usage is incorrect, right? This group should be called "methylamino", right? And is "aminoalkyl" an established term? I could not find an authoritative reference, but there are many papers that use it, apparently to mean \s(CH2)_{n}\sNH2. Would that be a proper definition, or should it include also things like \sCH2\sCH(CH3)\sCH2\sNH2? --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 02:09, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
