    on minute 5:45 why not 2-ol instead of hydroxy on video for ethers last problem you stated 3- methoxy-2-butanol since there is OH what makes it difference here that instead of 2-ol it becomes 2-hydroxy-3-methylpentanal if you can explain thank you.

    Can we write cyclohexanecarbaldehyde as cyclohexanal?

    Your videos are once again awesome. How did we get cyclohexanecarbaldehyde? I don’t understand where “carbaldehyde” came from – if it is a substituent, shouldn’t it be in front of the parent name?

      It’s a priority group off the ring. It’s tricky…

      The difference is the CH2 group. My aromatic naming video goes into detail on how to differentiate. Watch them here: https://leah4sci.com/naming-aromatic-compounds/
