A comprehensive guide to the IUPAC rules for naming organic compounds, including nomenclature rules for a range of molecules studied at both AS and A2 level. This was designed for the OCR A level specification, but can be used for any A level chemistry exam, including AQA and edexcel. The organic compound list includes: alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, polymers, haloalkanes/halogenoalkanes, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, acid anhydrides, acyl chlorides, amines, amides, benzene, phenyls, phenols, nitro (NO2) groups for both benzene and alkanes, polyalkenes, polyesters and polyamides. The information is presented in the format of a table with a summar y of the rules and an expanded section with notes on how to use the table to name both simple and complex compounds. There is also the option to draw in the displayed formula for each functional group.
