Naming Branched Substituents isopropyl tert butyl isobutyl and more

This video is Part 4 in the Naming Organic Compounds series

This video shows you how to name organic molecules with branched substituents showing you the 'long' way for each and the accepted abbreviations such as isopropyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl and tert-butyl

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

I was almost in tears as I have watched almost all videos on youtube about this topic and it just seemed like it wasn't meant for me to know..i watched this video multiple times and it just clicked...thank you so much..you just literally saved my life!!

This has been here for ten years and just today I have easily understood it
May God bless you

You are wonderful! My professor went over this so fast and the book was no help. Seeing it all drawn out and named one by one was awesome. Thank you!

[tiffanychannelvaradi]

Thanks so much for your tips and tricks! They've really helped me understand and memorize isopropyl, isobutyl, tertbutyl, and secbutyl. :-)

thank you so much for this. I am a very visually oriented learner and and these step by step tutorials are a godsend. My professor just lists extremely long and wordy lists of rules and reads them and never does any examples just showed molecules with the names on his slide. I want to truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for your hard work. I hope you receive much compensation from you tube ads from me as i watch all your videos multiple times.

I'm an OChem tutor looking through the videos for a way to simplify the explanations for the students, and this is the best video I've seen.

[shubhgajjar]

awesome seriously amazing way to explain organic chemistry, hats off to your knowledge aand way of explanation. i will show this videos to my friends.

We shouldn't pay our school tuition, since we can learn all the concepts from

[Drea]

That DEFINITELY helped me!!! My textbook didn't even explain it this in depth.

Thanks Leah!

At 2:47 -- I am confused, why do we name the methyl first before the ethyl?

Does it not follow the alphabetical rule?

[angelaortiz]

Love your videos! These videos are helping me get through organic chemistry. Thank you!

[jawadawan]

it's amazing...you really made my day....you are an exellent teacher...TYSM
