‭Nomenclature of organic Compounds‬
I‭n organic chemistry, nomenclature is the system used for naming‬
‭organic compounds
...
The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied‬
‭Chemistry) nomenclature is the most widely accepted system for‬
‭naming organic compounds
...
The‬
T
‭first step is to identify the parent chain, which is the longest‬
‭continuous chain of carbon atoms in the molecule
...
The position of the functional‬
‭group or substituent is indicated by its number
...

‭ or example, consider the organic compound shown in the video
...
To name this compound using IUPAC nomenclature, we‬
‭first identify the parent chain, which is the five-carbon chain
...
This gives us the name 4-oxopentanoic acid
...

‭ nother example is the organic compound shown in the video with the‬
A
‭molecular formula C6H5Cl
...
To name this compound using IUPAC‬
‭nomenclature, we use the name of the parent chain, which is benzene,‬

‭ nd add the name of the substituent, which is chlorine, with its‬
a
‭position indicated by a number
...
The IUPAC name for this‬
‭compound is therefore chlorobenzene
...
However, with practice and careful attention to‬
‭detail, it is possible to become proficient in naming organic‬
‭compounds using IUPAC nomenclature
...
By following the IUPAC system, we can ensure that‬
‭organic compounds are unambiguously identified, which is essential‬
‭for communication and research in the field of organic chemistry
