IUPAC Nomenclature of Haloalkanes and Alcohols

More IUPAC nomenclature! Here we look at alkanes with halogen and hydroxyl substituents. Dave loves alcohols. Learn Organic Chemistry the easy way with Professor Dave!

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

I suck at chemistry but only because of your lectures I got highest garde in my a life saver

[marijimenez]

You are awesome Professor Dave. I understood this in 6mins compared to 1hr with my professor.
You just got a new subscriber, thank you!

I'm from Morocco we study in French language
But I found your videos more helpful to me to study chemistry and chemical reactions
I'm not advanced in English so I'm learning language too in the same time
Thank you very much for your efforts and explications
They're just great and amazing 😍😊

[dhriteetapatidey]

we need more teachers like him. AND THATS A FACT

[jacobanderson]

This dude should win a Nobel prize for science communication/teaching

[kbarracuda]

These videos are great, you're officially my go-to channel for O-chem :D

[memoonamazhar]

why am I finding out about you right now? I wish I had found you before my midterms... well I guess better late than never... Hopefully I can still bring up my grades, I was having the hardest time naming the compounds, thanks for clearing that up! you are amazing!!!

[Irish_]

thank you chemistry Jesus, at first my grades were low on chemistry and then I stumbled across your YT channel. I want to say thank you very much! after watching your videos i found out that i learned a lot and i was getting an A on my quizzes and exams. THANK YOU!! YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER.!!

Great videos Dave, as always.


Love the IUPAC concept when all the professional heads got together and essentially said: "We'll name everything with a distinct order and use the alphabet to our advantage for simplicity, except when it doesn't suit us, in which case we'll just do this with iso."

[muhammadaftabalam]

amazing, how it becomes possible for you to recite such intricate concepts so clearly.it seems that you are reciting a poem and not chemistry.

[adhiyanthaprabhujeyashanka]

Very grateful for you, learned a lot more than what my teacher taught me 🙏🙏🙏 love from India ❤️

[emem]

Thank you, Prof Dave! Your explanation is easy to grasp. You saved me!

[adhiyanthaprabhujeyashanka]

Do we list halogen groups firstly in the name ? Because in the last nomenclature example professor dave just mentioned 6-iodo first despite the fact that hydroxyl group appears first alphabetically

[srijaneedhar]

I love your explanations OH MY GOD, I want to cry. WHY DIDN'T I FIND YOU BEFORE

[travislankford]

If I wanted to retake O Chem as a 37 year old; do you have any recommendations for improving my grade from 1st semester and the finishing 2nd to ultimately, maybe but probably not, prepare to apply to med school super late in the game?

[serene]

0:59 wow been a while since I heard anybody use "thusly".. welcome change tho :))

[stephenwa]

imma need this guy for next year no cap lmao, so im studying now, and once summer ends ill have him

[trizsaballon]

Hi. In the last example, why was iodine named first instead of the hydroxyl group? Sorry little confused with the alphabeticity

[srinivasareddypetluru]

sorry sir i write spaling Mistakely type sir now i correct alcohols thank you Sir

[amudhadeepa]

Can you please explain the nomenclature of 1-bromobut-2-ene and why it is not called 4-bromobut-3-ene? Thanks
