Naming Cycloalkanes and Bicycloalkanes

February 25, 2013 By Leah4sci 13 Comments

Nomencalture Cycloalkanes & Bicyclo Alkanes Video Tutorial Organic Leah FischNaming Organic Compounds Series: Video 5
This tutorial video gives you a basic approach for naming cycloalkanes and bicycloalkanes using my ‘puzzle piece' approach to IUPAC naming. Included are examples of simple cyclic compounds and substituted bicyclic organic compounds.

(Watch on YouTube: Cycloalkanes. Click CC on bottom right for transcript.)

<– Watch Previous Video: Naming Branched Substituents – isopropyl, isobutyl, tertbutyl and more
–> Watch Next Video: Naming Alkenes

This is Video 5 in the Naming Organic Compounds Video Series. Click HERE for the entire series.
