IUPAC Priority Functional Groups Finally Click!
IUPAC naming priority functional groups gets much easier once you realize the rules do not change. In this video, you’ll work through 9 full IUPAC naming examples so alcohols, aldehydes, nitriles, esters, amides, carboxylic acids, and stereochemistry stop feeling like separate systems to memorize. If you know the basic IUPAC workflow but freeze the moment multiple functional groups show up, this is the practice set you want. The goal here is not to dump more rules on you. It’s to make the rules you already know feel usable on exams. Quick wins you’ll get from this video: How to identify the priority functional group every time How suffixes change without learning a separate rule set for every group How to handle non-priority “freebie” substituents vs true priority groups How to combine unsaturation with functional-group suffixes How to place stereochemistry correctly in full IUPAC names How to name complex molecules step by step without panicking IUPAC Naming Series: Part 1: The Basics • IUPAC Naming Basics: Learn the System (Not...
