4.3 IUPAC Nomenclature of Bicyclic Compounds | Organic Chemistry

Chad covers naming bicyclic compounds in this lesson including all three major classes of Bicyclic Compounds: naming bridged bicyclic compounds, naming fused bicyclic compounds, and naming spiro bicyclic compounds. This also includes naming bicyclic compounds with substituents and how to properly number the parent chain. Chad works several naming bicyclic compounds practice problems including a couple examples of each type. He concludes the lesson by showing the priority in naming for the most common functional groups.

This was so helpful! Currently studying for my first orgo exam and you've made this topic crystal clear. Cannot thank you enough!

100% needed this. Made it very crystal-clear. I was recommended this from my Orgo study friends, and I'm glad to be apart of the boat now!!!

I feel lucky to encounter you dear Chad's Prep. I like even these confusing compounds, thanks to you! I failed my organic chem exam last year, but I will pass it, i can feel it!!

I appreciate the playlist you created, but it's quite large with 227, 127, 167, or 123 videos. Could you make smaller, series-based playlists? It would be easier to follow.
Thanks a million for this lecture.

From india you always make chemistry easy to understand

Thanks so much I was struggling to identify what the textbook was saying until I encountered this video thanks so much I can now write my exam as a pro 😊

Very good video! I have one question though, what If my substituent is at the bridge C atom? Meaning on a fused bicycle for example. Could I just number it one, or do I have to go through one of the carbon rings first?

[ericmora]

What happens in the circumstance in bridged bicyclic compounds where one side of the compound has less carbons but has more alkyl substituents. Which would be more important?

[PhaelleCorr]

For the fused structure, if the cyclobutane was cyclobutadiene instead, how would you name the overall structure?
