The formula for aniline compounds is, where the amino group is meant to be directly attached to the phenyl group.
It is commonly known as Aminobenzene.
It's an organic chemical because there is carbon in the formula. The amino group consists of one nitrogen atom connected to two hydrogen atoms, while the phenyl is a hexagonal ring with an alternative double bond.
IUPAC naming:
Certain guidelines must be observed in order to name compounds. The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) nomenclature (naming scheme) is used to name organic compounds. This is to make sure that the names are consistent.
In the IUPAC nomenclature of substituted aromatic compounds, the name of the substituent appears as a prefix to the name of the aromatic compound.
Here the phenyl ring act as a substitute group that is attached to the amine group. Therefore name for the compound is Phenylamine.
Therefore, the IUPAC name for Aniline isPhenylamine.
