IUPAC Nomenclature of Alkanes - Naming Organic Compounds

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into naming organic compounds. It explains how to write the IUPAC nomenclature of alkanes. It covers the basic iupac rules such as numbering and writing the substituents in alphabetical order. It explains the importance of identifying the parent chain or the longest carbon chain as well as identifying the parent chain with highest number of substituents.

I remember watching this video 3 years ago because I was curious about organic chemistry. Now I’m in organic chemistry and I’m watching this video again.

[lorensolomon]

just within the first 4 minutes I've learned and understood more than I have from my teacher at University! you rock!!

[Eyazcal]

You are saving grades one video at a time. You deserve a Nobel Prize or something.

I’ve been watching organic chemistry tutor’s videos for years, but this is the first time I’m watching one for a real organic chemistry class!!!

[asaharasensei]

I've been using your videos for years on various math subjects, but this is the first time I've watched one of your organic chemistry videos. Your channel name is very accurate! I know that without your videos there would be many students lost in both math and chemistry. You're doing an amazing service to the community!

When my teacher taught this lesson, I was so confused to the point that I thought I will never understand this topic but you made it a lot easier to understand! THANK YOU SO MUCH I WILL MAKE SURE TO PASS THAT TEST TOMORROW!!

This guy hard carries my chem and calc class bruh

[chiefbush]

I have the exam in 2 hours, this will at least get me passing.

[ambikanath]

Tysm for this video I literally started iupac and u posted

[wolfking]

I have 12 days left for my organic chemistry test, and I was really overwhelmed on how to name the substituents . Thank you so much for this video, you are such a lifesaver !!

[stephanieekeopara]

It is crazy how much I have learned and understood in just few mins than in class. This is always my go to when I struggle to understand anything in Chem or math.

[elinaoberemok]

You are the best! The videos are so enjoyable and relaxing, it doesn't feel like studying, but more like learning something you're curious about. God bless you for everything you do!

[erzaabazi]

you are the best, I was listening to my teacher around two weeks and didn’t understand a thing. From the first time I heard you I understand it so well. Thank you so much you are helping a lot of people❤❤

[Blazeinbluebecausewhynot]

Good luck to anyone who’s gonna have a test on this! :) cause I’m gonna have mines tomorrow 😅

Edit: I’m back again for my college test on chem lol (2/23/22)

[vasilipapageorgiou]

Life-saver. Thanks so much for explaining it not only clearly but showing lots of examples of different ways you could get a question!

[kateychioma]

For all this years I can boldly name compounds just for watching this video.thank u so much sir. The answer to the class work u gave is 3, 4 - dibromo pentanal

[kaliii]

OHMYGOODNESS TY SO MUCHHHH😭😭 You explained things much clearer than my actual teacher 😭 this helped so much!!

[jpiche-labananciachristian]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR such a great help... I was able to pass my organic chemistry this sem I'm looking forward to be a chemical engineer someday :)

[audreychansa]

I thought I'd never get it too😭this man is a blessing🙏🏼.I'll be sure to pass the test tomorrow.May God bless you with all the good things you deserve🙌🏽

[Think__Yourself]

IUPAC takes me for a wild ride every time. I was like yeah the bimethyl one, only to hear him say, "actually it's this." Nice vid
