Nomenclature chemistry

Organic Chemistry has a bad rap as a 'weed out' course! Prepare for your exams, with interactive tutorials, cheat sheets and practice problems here!

Organic Chemistry can be difficult and confusing. The goal of this article is to simply and explain the naming process for organic compounds.

Organic chemistry nomenclature, alkane names, common substituents

This page by Professor Hans Reich (UW-Madison) describes some typical nomenclatures commonly encountered in Organic Chemistry. It also provides the names and corresponding structures.

IUPAC nomenclature of Organic compounds having different functional groups

Organic chemistry nomenclature is based on the IUPAC nomenclature system. The IUPAC system is a set of rules used and the structural formula allows the chemist to write the unique names of the compounds. There are three essential features: "A root or base indicating a major chain or ring of carbon atoms found in the molecular structure" "A suffix or other element(s) designating functional groups that may be present in the compound" "Names of substituent groups, other than hydrogen, that…

Organic Chemistry Functional Groups Chart Basic principles in organic chemistry: Functional groups List of functional groups in organic chemistry The knowledge of some basic functional groups and how they react would give us tremendous leverage to tackle the problem of predicting chemical reactivity in organic chemistry. Following is the table of the common functional groups
