Understanding IUPAC Nomenclature: Organic Chemistry Naming Made Easy

This document serves as a comprehensive guide to the systematic International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature of organic compounds. It outlines the standard rules and principles used to assign names to organic molecules based on their structure, functional groups, and complexity. The content covers key topics such as the selection of the parent chain, identification of substituents, proper use of locants and prefixes, and naming conventions for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and more. This guide is intended for students, educators, and professionals in chemistry who seek a clear and structured approach to understanding and applying IUPAC naming conventions in organic chemistry.
