Naming Alkyl Halides - Leah4sci Nomenclature Tutorial

This video is Part 9 in the Naming Organic Compounds series

This nomenclature tutorial video takes you through the IUPAC rules for naming halogen containing compounds called alkyl halides. Examples include single and multi-substituted haloalkanes including unsaturated and cyclic compounds

Many students struggle with naming because they attempt to come up with the entire name at once and often wind up missing a piece or two. After this series you won't have that problem anymore

you're great. I watched all your videos on organic chemistry and you did better than my prof did in explaining this. Thank you! I just subscribed by the way :)

Multiple sources would say that the exact IUPAC name of this compound 6:33 is 4-chlorobut-1-ene. I understand that both ways are virtually the same, but I'm curious why some say it's 4-chlorobut-1-ene, and some say it's 4-chloro-1-butene.

you cleared all my doubts in just 7 minutes😍. Thanks a lot

i love all your videos, they have helped me so much with orgo! can you do some videos on synthesis using alkynes ???

Thank u so much mam for explaining this i am really struggling wd organic chemistry rn but this video.helped me a lot understanding it better thank u once again

i love the way you teach... you made the expert of nomenclature.
😚😚

Hi,
For the last problem at 6:35 why is it not in alpha order B comes before C just trying to understand thanks!

[KieuNguyen-bvrh]

at 2:14, (2, 2-dichloropropan), can I name it 2, 2-dichloroisopropyl instead ?

[hibamerci]

I have a question. . in the last example there is a pie bond so isn't it supposed to be HEPTENE instead of BUTENE?

[sonunmahto]

thankss... it helped a lot... keep uploading

[jessgill]

Wouldn't the 2-iodo-5-mehtylhexane be giving 2 to I since it is a higher priority than a methyl group and not because i is before m in the alphabet?

[Mschickn]

1, 6-Dibromo-6-methyloctane
Is incorrect what is the correct name for this? Should I count first to nearest carbon that has many substituent? Help pls

[SAIFKHAN-mjdd]

thanks I really take advantage from this video

[jemarr]

with the last example, 4-chloro-1-butene is the same as 4-chlorobutene right? Without the 1?

[tshifhiwathovhakale]

I still dont understand why my tutorial question said draw 7-bromo-3-ethyl-2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethyloctane....
After I watched this video ithnk it must be 2-bromo

[katelucas]

Oooh...Ok! I got it now! Thank you so much. :))
