Hi Leah,
Very helpful videos! Do you have a list somewhere of the order of priority of the functional groups? I’m never quite sure which one takes precedence. Thanks!
Leah4sci says
Julia: There’s a priority group linked to my article on MasterOrganicChemistry here: https://www.masterorganicchemistry.com/2014/10/21/organic-chemistry-iupac-nomenclature-demystified-with-a-simple-puzzle-piece-approach/

its really helpful i been always watching your videos for my organic chemistry class,and now its no hard for me thanks i gonna check it!!!!!! 😀
Angela says
im currently watching videos on naming organic compounds! thank you so much it helps me on the test!
Leah4sci says
You are very welcome. When is your exam?
I’m actually working on something exciting that should help you. My new website has a new series on naming that incorporates video + blog to help you better grasp the concepts. details here: https://orgotutorials.com/category/naming-organic-compounds/
