MindMap Gallery Naming of organic compounds
The naming of organic compounds follows the IUPAC nomenclature, although many common names are also used. Functional group priorities are crucial in naming, determining the main structure and the order of substituents in the compound's name. Mastering these naming rules and principles is important for accurately identifying and naming organic compounds.
