1 section5 lectures1h 34m total length
  • Basics of Nomenclature13:54

    In this introductory lecture, we begin the fundamentals of organic nomenclature by understanding the difference between common naming and IUPAC naming systems. This session focuses on the basic building blocks of IUPAC nomenclature, including word roots, prefixes, suffixes, and the general structure used to name organic compounds systematically. This video is designed to build a strong foundation that will help learners easily understand the naming of different classes of organic compounds in the upcoming lectures.

  • Complete IUPAC Nomenclature Rules | Step-by-Step Naming Method & Functional Grou26:57

    In this lecture, we learn the complete step-by-step method for naming organic compounds using the IUPAC system. The video covers the systematic approach used to identify the parent chain, numbering rules, prefixes, suffixes, substituents, and functional group priorities. Different naming situations and important exceptions are also discussed in a simple manner. The session concludes with solved examples to help learners clearly understand how to apply the rules in actual organic compounds.

  • IUPAC Nomenclature Practice Problems | Step-by-Step Naming Questions & Solutions9:06

    In this lecture, we solve multiple IUPAC nomenclature problems step by step to strengthen the concepts learned in the previous videos. Different types of organic compounds and naming situations are discussed in detail, helping learners understand how to apply nomenclature rules correctly. This session is focused on practice, problem-solving techniques, and improving confidence in naming organic compounds accurately.

  • Common Naming of Organic Compounds | Iso, Neo, Sec, Alpha, Beta & More Explained21:52

    In this lecture, we learn the common naming system used for organic compounds and the important terms frequently used in organic chemistry. The video explains how common names are assigned to different functional group compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, ethers, carboxylic acids, and more. Important naming terms including iso, neo, sec, tert, alpha (α), beta (β), gamma (γ), and related concepts are discussed with examples to make the naming process simple and easy to understand. This lecture builds a strong foundation for understanding traditional and commonly used organic compound names.

  • Advanced IUPAC Nomenclature Examples | Parent Chain Selection & Numbering Explai22:48

    In this lecture, we solve more IUPAC nomenclature examples in a detailed and step-by-step manner. The video focuses on important concepts such as selecting the correct parent chain, proper numbering of the carbon chain, identifying substituents, and applying IUPAC naming rules accurately. Different types of compounds and naming situations are discussed to help learners develop a clear understanding and improve their problem-solving skills in organic nomenclature.
