Naming Organic Compounds Series: Video 3
This tutorial video takes you through the steps of naming branched chain alkanes using the IUPAC naming rules. A branched chain alkane is an organic molecule that has smaller carbon chains sticking out in the middle rather than having all carbons connected in a single row. Video includes a number of practice problems from simple to tricky, single and multiple branches.

I never leave comments but WOW!!! you saved me hours of studying . I was initially scared of this topic but now I find it fun!! its like solving a puzzle like you said! Thank you Leah!!
Thank you so much Leah! You make this seem like kindergarten work, everything appears so simple to me now!
thank you..
Thank you for your videos!
so to double check, at about the 4:30 mark…. even if other substituents have more carbons that will not give it higher priority to “first” substituent on the parent chain? (initially i thought it would be 2-methyl-5-ethylheptane)
I loved it, great tutor
Thank you Lisa
very helful! best tutor ever! you are very good at explaining!!
Thank you!
Making the study easy to comprehend. Thanks a lot
Thanks
thank you so much for this! I am studying my MCAT, and this kills KAPLAN easily
Thank you Vincent. When are you testing? Have you downloaded my MCAT ebook?
thank you so much so sharing the videos. they help a lot.
Thank you, Which topics are you working on right now?
Great work! These things are not easy to explain. Perfect explanation with visual view. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
Once more the information you give on the videos very helpful.
Thank you very much!!
You are very welcome. Which topics are you studying right now?
i finding difficult to select the parent chain rarer than its very helpful.thank you for presenting these videos.and your voice too very nice.
Thank you I appreciate your kind words and I’m glad that my videos helped you
Thanks so much your videos helped me study for an orgo test;p One of the things I never understood was whether the prefixes such as di or tri counted for the abc order so thank you;p
You are very welcome, glad you finally understand 🙂
Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that I did not even think about highlighting the parent chain!! We recently learned about this in Organic 1 class and your method and ideas are very helpful! Thank you !!
Don’t you love how simply highlighting makes it so much simpler? 🙂
Glad I can help
Thank You!!! Thank You!!! Thank You!!! :))))))))
You are very welcome
I appreciate the help !! I really needed to refreshen my memory !!! Thank you very very, very much !!!
