Naming Alcohols | IUPAC Nomenclature | 12.1 Organic Chemistry

Chad provides a comprehensive lesson covering the IUPAC rules for naming alcohols. He includes examples of linear alcohols, cyclic alcohols, and even a diol. He also covers how to name an alcohol as an hydroxy substituent when it is not the highest priority functional group in the compound.

I’ve created an organic chemistry page that organizes all my videos by chapter – just an easier way for you to watch my YouTube videos. Check it out at https://www.chadsprep.com/organic-chemistry-youtube
