What is IUPAC nomenclature?

IUPAC nomenclature is the standard system for naming organic compounds. A name is built from a parent chain, a suffix for the main functional group, and prefixes for the other groups attached to it. Once you know the rules, you can read a name and draw the structure, or look at a structure and write the name.

Why students find naming hard

The rules are not difficult one at a time. The trouble is that they are spread across different chapters, so you learn the alkane rules in one month and the alkene rules weeks later, and the earlier ones fade. This course puts them in order, one on top of the other, over six days.

What you will learn

• How organic compounds are classified, and how to pick the parent chain
• How to number a chain correctly: lowest locants, alphabetical order of prefixes, and repeated substituents
• How to name alkanes, including branched ones
• How to name cycloalkanes, bicyclic compounds and spiro compounds
• How double bonds change the numbering, and how to name compounds with more than one
• How to name aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids
• How the priority order of functional groups decides the suffix and the prefixes
• How to name compounds that have two or three functional groups

The 6-day plan

Day 1: Foundations and classification (1 h 7 min, 5 tasks, light)
Classification of organic compounds, what a parent chain is, how to recognise functional groups, and why IUPAC replaced the older naming styles. Tasks: a 27-minute video lesson, theory notes, a mind map, handwritten practice questions, and a 10-question quiz.

Day 2: Alkanes (1 h 29 min, 5 tasks, light)
The numbering rules in detail: lowest locants, alphabetical order, and identical substituents. Practice continues until a branched alkane takes seconds to name.

Day 3: Cycloalkanes, bicyclic and spiro compounds (1 h 19 min, 5 tasks, medium)
Ring naming, taught with the same step-by-step logic as Day 2, then extended to bicyclic and spiro systems.

Day 4: Alkenes and unsaturated hydrocarbons (1 h 9 min, 5 tasks, medium)
How a double bond changes the numbering, and how to name compounds with more than one double bond.

Day 5: Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids (1 h 19 min, 6 tasks, hard)
The priority rules: which group becomes the suffix, which become prefixes, and what changes when you add substituents.

Day 6: Comprehensive naming with multiple functional groups (3 h 9 min, 8 tasks, hard)
The longest day on purpose. Compounds with two or three competing functional groups, which need every rule from Days 1 to 5.

What is included

• 8 video lessons
• 20 notes and practice PDFs: theory sheets, mind maps, and handwritten question sets with full explanations
• 6 MCQ tests, one at the end of each day
• A certificate of completion after all 34 tasks
• Lifetime access to all material
• An "Ask a Doubt" option if a structure doesn't click

Who this course is for

• Class 11 students who are meeting IUPAC naming for the first time and want it right from the start.
• Class 12 students who learned the rules once, forgot part of them, and need a structured refresher before the board exams.
• JEE and NEET aspirants who are comfortable with other topics but still drop marks on naming questions.
• Anyone who can draw a structure but can't name it with confidence.

Why six days and not six weeks?

Naming rules build on each other. If you study them across six weeks, the early ones are half-forgotten by the time the later ones arrive. Six days in a row keeps them fresh, and each day ends with a quiz so you find gaps before moving on. It also matches how exams test naming: mixed questions, not one chapter at a time.

His teaching focuses on understanding the pattern behind the rules, so students don't treat every compound as a new problem.

Struggling to name organic compounds confidently? This 6-day course takes you from the basics of IUPAC nomenclature — parent chain selection, numbering, and substituent naming — through to advanced structures including bicyclic compounds, spiro systems, and molecules with multiple functional groups. Built for Class 11, Class 12, CBSE, and ICSE students, and JEE/NEET aspirants who need naming fluency, not just familiarity. Each day combines a video lecture, theory notes, a mind map, handwritten practice questions with full solutions, and an MCQ quiz — 34 tasks in total, taught by Dr Pawan Kasu. Finish knowing you can name almost any organic structure on sight, not just the ones you've memorised.
