This is a set of practice problems on naming organic compounds. The examples cover the nomenclature of alkanes, bicyclic compounds, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, alkyl halides, aromatic compounds, aldehydes and ketones, amines, ethers, and carboxylic acid derivatives such as nitriles, esters, and amides. Some of the examples are also compounds with multiple functional groups, in which case you need to know the priority of the functional groups. This allows us to determine whether the functional groups are named using a prefix or a suffix.
Check this 69-question, Multiple-Choice Quiz with a 2-hour Video Solution on naming alkanes, alkyl halides, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and compounds containing multiple functional groups.
