The founding fathers of organic chemistry are really proud of you You're the only one that doesn't overcomplicate the principles of science You explain it the way it's supposed to be explained
Why is it that the school(s) professors are making chemistry difficult and confusing? You are the kind of chemistry prof we want in the colleges/universities, you make concepts so clear to understand for even a first time learner. They let us think like our heads are upside down...Thnx and God bless u
A lot comes back to the bad administration of schools. More concerned with protecting the old arbitrary academic systems then they are with the exchange of knowledge.
I remember spending 3 years in a tutorial class and not understanding anything..... But your lectures actually made science easy.... And life easy.... Thanks a lot
Oh my.....These series of videos are extremely helpful... thank you so much for those videos. Your explanation is just super clear and I now start to love o-chem because of your videos. Thank you Professor. Dave!!!!
Just a note for those watching that in recent years, that "Preferred IUPAC Name" (PIN) has changed some of the IUPAC naming conventions to further limit ambiguity about how the molecules are named. For example, 1-pentanol is now pentan-1-ol. Similarly, 3-penten-1-ol would be called pent-3-en-1-ol.
4:43 Professor Dave I think that the higher priority would be given to a double bond rather than a triple bond while naming a compound with a double bond and a triple bond at the same position from either side. Please solve my ambiguity! Also your teaching style is awesome and far better than the IIT JEE tutions here in India!
@@alitornado2 The correct answer is both. This video is slightly dated on its naming conventions. With some new IUPAC conventions since this video came out 7 years ago, we treat the en and yne suffixs the same way he treats the alcohol suffix in this video, except stacked in the same name, ill show you below. Additionally because of this change, we don't use "#-(carbons)(ene)" anymore. e.g "3-ethene" If we want to specify the position of a double bond in ethene, we input a space into the name, for instance, "2-chloro eth-1-ene". This also allows us to use stereochemistry modifiers E and Z to signify cis and trans double or triple bonds like this, "3-chloro pent-1(Z)-yne", a 5 carbon chain with a chlorine on the third carbon, and that has a bent first carbon on a triple bond at the number 1 carbon. To answer your question though. An actual name of a six carbon chain with a double and triple bond on the ends is "hex-1(E/Z)-en-6(E/Z)-yne". Where the E/Z considers the stereochemistry of the bond *e.g whether the first/last carbon is on the same side or opposite side from carbon #3 / #4 respectively. You can consult some various sources for this on the new Blue Book rules but I used this one. www.masterorganicchemistry.com/2011/02/14/table-of-functional-group-priorities-for-nomenclature/
@@CabbageSandwich hello, i have a query regarding the same, if a triple bond is closer than the double bond, then from which way the numbering should start?
With these videos, I could understand organic chemistry easily and engage interestingly in my natural products projects. Dave! You made life live. You're the one thst should win the nobel prize for education.
Enjoying the videos so far. I was confused what happens if the double or triple bond is not on the longest chain. As far as I understand from a quick search, it's the longest chain containing the double or triple bond which is used for numbering.
just remember guys that the priority order for lowest occurance and in the selection of the principal carbon chain is Functional group (like OH, COOH, etc...) > unsaturated bond (double and triple bond)> Longest carbon chain (number of carbon atoms) > substituent groups (like F, Cl, Br, I, methyl, ethyl, etc...)
I would have a question : in the example at 4:10 what makes us choose the top path? Is there a rule about chosing a path that minimize the number of bonds in the substituants? With the same example taking the lower path would mean that the group would be 3 bonds long while taking the top one makes a 2 bond group. Am I extrapolating this correctly? Or maybe there is a rule that state that family modifiers must be attached to the main chain, forcing to choose the path with the hydroxyl group. In case the bottom path is valid what would be the name of this thing?
@6:15 Why don't we use the "ene" at the End instead of alcohol ? If the Alcohol Group Takes Priority then shouldn't it be First? i.e, 5-chloro-3-ethyl-4-methyl-3-heptanol-3-ene
+Abdullah Rai hydroxyls take priority over alkenes and alkynes both in terms of numbering the carbon chain and naming the molecule, so the ol has to go at the end rather than the ene. priority will mean that it is the last thing that is named, implying that it is the functional group that most strongly contributes to the nature and reactivity of the molecule.
You are a amazing teacher for children. You have pretty much explained everything. Your videos have benefited me and my friends greatly and i would love to have more of your videos. Please tell me about plus two chapter 9 coordination compound. Plzz arrgenttly my board exam in 2020 march .
4:46 If you took the two Carbon atoms below the Hydroxyl group for the main chain, the main chain would also be made up of 7 carbon atoms. Why is one taken over the other as a main chain? 🤔
Other sources are saying that alkenes and alkynes have the same priority but priority is given to alkenes for alphabetization in the event of a tie. I may have misread them.
Prof Dave, @6:22, because of the double bond, would we be expected to write this as cis-5-chloro-3-ethyl-4-methyl-hepten-1-ol? or is there a reason we don't need to identify the cis/trans conformation?
Regarding to that 1 on pente-1-nol in your next video of cyclic compounds you said it is implied that the hydroxyl group is on carbon1 thereby not writing the 1 on the final answer but here you wrote it there may i get to understand why?is it because that one was a cyclic and this one isn't....am confused now about numbering compounds with functional groups 😭
Quick question. In the Alkene example you labled the substituent double bond 1-1-pentene. How come on this one it is not 3-3-3-heptyne, and it's just 3-heptyne?
Awesome! Ok thank you. I was confused for a second. Can I just say I am loving your Ochem videos. I haven't taken this course yet but am prepping for my MCAT so in addition to my Kaplan test prep materials I am using this as a supplement. It is way easier to understand from you, and honestly it seems like Ochem is going to be fun. Never thought I would ever say that lol.
Hello sir! Love your teachings always, it is much easier and clearer than my profs at school who makes it more difficult to understand. Anyways i do have one question to clarify. Aren''t alcohols termed as OH? 😶
the -ane -ene -yne suffixes in phonetical languages are somewhat mixed up. Alkan Alken Alkin (respec.) is what it would sound like in slavic forms and would not directly correspond to EN pronunciation. also, different languages (non-roman) would have the alphabetical order slightly altered , so I guess IUPAC also corresponds to language conversion or needs to be adjusted to its EN form
Ur osm in ur ownkind in doin orgo simpler than our professors who made it complex Plz cover the topics like preparation of hydrocarbons I wish u would do it bruhh...◉‿◉
Hi Prof. Dave. I wanted to ask, can we start by numbering the chain from the carbon that's below the alcohol (The one you called 3-ethyl), instead of the one that's right next to it?
I don't understand why you identify the longest carbon chain starting with the end that had the hydroxyl group and not with the one that ends in a carbon. Both would have given you a 7 carbon molecule. Can you elaborate please?
I had a problem on a test that I didn't understand when naming. The compound is 4-chloro-1-methyl-2-propylcyclohexane. Why does the count in counting the carbon chain starts with the methyl and not the chlorine? I thought since Chlorine not being a carbon chain would take priority in naming, then I would counts backwards making the propyl third and the methyl fourth. Could you explain why the priority. Thanks. Love watching your videos.

Totally agree with you
Lmfao 😂😂
Yeah.......😊😊😊😊
YOU ARE SAVING MY LIFE RIGHT NOW. My professor just taught me this and I understood nothing. You explained in minutes and its so clear now. THANK YOU!
Best teacher ever , never knew some one could teach this well . Thanks man , god bless you . Keep up the good work .
he is amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing
I just want to say thank you for all your videos. With your help, I was able to not only pass organic chemistry but also get an ‘A’ in it.

Thank you for making me understand organic chemistry
Thank you, Professor Dave, thanks to you I can learn Alkynes of useful stuff.
You don't know how much you save me for this semester! thanks professor dave! 😭😭❤
Congratulations for 1 million sir
Greatly Explained !!!👍👍👍👌 Thanks a lot from INDIA.
Thank you so much! Love the presentation. Clear, straight to the point and demonstrating "how" to approach the concept.
Professor thank u so much..lots of love from india🤗🤗🤗🤗🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
prof dave single handedly helping my grades in science
Video I see, video I like, thank you Dave
I have to tell u're so cool u hv many varieties of
streams, u're awesome. Now I can finally satisfy my curiosity for Science 🎉❤😊tnx a lot 😁
I don't enjoy chemistry, but he just makes it so interesting.
Thanks to you prof I am not gonna fail at chemistry final exam tmw
u just saved my life =-)

Thanks dude for making such awesome videos which help many people out there including me in my boards
Wow....you make it look so easy! Great stuff!
this guy gonna help me fall of 2022, for now imma get as much info in so ill be prepared for next year
YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you so much for making these videos. You have no idea how much it has helped me..
Professor Dave thank you for this explanation its way better than my teacher
Dave! You've just inspired me to create a Chemistry/Physics UA-cam Series. This is just a thought though. :)
You're such a great help!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊
You are a legend, glad I found you!
I totally hate chemistry and I'm enjoying this ... Also, I have an exam in a few and I'm sure I got this covered thanks to your videos ☺️
sir, you are great... 👌👌
4:00 Why is it 6-fluoro-3-heptyne? Why not 2-fluoro-4-heptyne?
need to get triple bond occurring soonest
Now this has two longest carbon chains so why isn't this 5-chloro-4-methyl-3-hepten-3-ethanol?(Or 5-chloro-3-ethaanol-4-methyl-3heptene)?
I love you so much, Professor Dave ❤️❤️❤️

The parent chain must contain the hydroxyl group, it's the highest priority group.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Thank you for clearing this up for me, and thank you for these incredibly well made videos.
Thank you again profs , have to submit answers to 100+ questions on IUPAC naming tommorow =w=
Thankx aloot Professor for your video .
it's really amazing ..
you can tell he loves teaching this stuff

+Professor Dave Explains Thanks For Clearing That Up Professor =)
ohh, but can we name the alcohol group as hydroxyl group? it will become 5-chloro-3-ethyl-1-hydroxyl-4-methyl-3-heptene ?
nope, the hydroxyl is the most relevant functional group on the molecule so it will modify the suffix! we need the "ol" at the end.
ohh I see. okay, thanks for the explaination :)

Hydroxyl groups are the biggest naming priority in this molecule, so the hydroxyl group needs to be on the main chain!
You're a truly life saver.
What if there are multiple tied longest carbon chains like at 4:28?
thanks professor dave :3 my gf never listens to me but she WILL listen to YOU
Hey Professor Dave, can you make a video on IUPAC of ethers?
Your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you so much!!!
can we name the last example as:
5-chloro-3-ethyl-4-methylhept-3-ene-1-ol
instead of 3-hepten-1-ol
Chemistry Dave grohl just saved me
Thank you It helps me a lot
keeping em coming lol great video professor dave
very clear explanations thank you
Other sources are saying that alkenes and alkynes have the same priority but priority is given to alkenes for alphabetization in the event of a tie. I may have misread them.
Prof Dave, @6:22, because of the double bond, would we be expected to write this as
cis-5-chloro-3-ethyl-4-methyl-hepten-1-ol? or is there a reason we don't need to identify the cis/trans conformation?
so this would require E/Z nomenclature, i just haven't covered yet at this point in the series, there's another tutorial on that
Thank you very much Sir 😊
May you will be bless always thanks for releasing my stress
Superb.. Its helpful
Regarding to that 1 on pente-1-nol in your next video of cyclic compounds you said it is implied that the hydroxyl group is on carbon1 thereby not writing the 1 on the final answer but here you wrote it there may i get to understand why?is it because that one was a cyclic and this one isn't....am confused now about numbering compounds with functional groups 😭
Quick question. In the Alkene example you labled the substituent double bond 1-1-pentene. How come on this one it is not 3-3-3-heptyne, and it's just 3-heptyne?
that's an L for the end of methyl! it's just 1-pentene. we need just one number to indicate the location of the pi bond(s).
Awesome! Ok thank you. I was confused for a second. Can I just say I am loving your Ochem videos.

YOURE SO AMAZING WATAFAAA
You are best prof please sir I wish to ask if it's hept-3-yne or 3-heptene I love you sir God bless you
4:28 why the upper one?
Why not the one under it?
cheers
Hello sir! Love your teachings always, it is much easier and clearer than my profs at school who makes it more difficult to understand. Anyways i do have one question to clarify. Aren''t alcohols termed as OH? 😶
an OH is a hydroxyl group, and a molecule with a hydroxyl group is called an alcohol

Awesome ❤❤❤❤
Love your work man! But our professor told us Alkynes have the lowest priority..
Me gets in front of the class: "its 5-chloro-3-ethyllll*mumblemumblemumble*-ol

me: ....imma head out...
@ProfessorDaveExplains, at 2:00 in the video, can't we name it as 4,4 - dimethyl - pent - 1 - ene instead ? BTW Great Help!!!!
yes that's synonymous! just a matter of taste.
Oh, Thanks!! I got it; A great THANKS from a 12th student from India.
Ur osm in ur ownkind in doin orgo simpler than our professors who made it complex

Thank u this is so helpful
Hi Prof. Dave. I wanted to ask, can we start by numbering the chain from the carbon that's below the alcohol (The one you called 3-ethyl), instead of the one that's right next to it?
nope! longest carbon chain must contain the hydroxyl group.
Glad someone already asked this question. So in that case location of the hydroxyl constinutent indicates the main carbon chain? Sweet
hey man thanks for asking it
it was so helpful
Sir is it still necessary that you will put 1 before pentene?
thank you prof.
très bonne explication merci beaucoup
5:51
ladies and gentlemen, i think my brain just committed suicide.
😂😂😂
Thanks Mr
We need another hair style 😂🇲🇼
What if there is more than one carbon chain with the maximum length ? In the last example there are 2 of length 7 that would lead to different names.
Id
Exam tomorrow thank you
I don't understand why you identify the longest carbon chain starting with the end that had the hydroxyl group and not with the one that ends in a carbon. Both would have given you a 7 carbon molecule. Can you elaborate please?
have to number so as to give hydroxyl occurring soonest, it takes priority
Why did you use the dash and hash (whatever it is) in place of actual methyl line representing the Methyls in the first formula of Alkenes?
check out the first tutorial in this organic chemistry playlist, it explains the dash and wedge notation
Thank you Dave. You are cool!
I had a problem on a test that I didn't understand when naming. The compound is 4-chloro-1-methyl-2-propylcyclohexane. Why does the count in counting the carbon chain starts with the methyl and not the chlorine? I thought since Chlorine not being a carbon chain would take priority in naming, then I would counts backwards making the propyl third and the methyl fourth. Could you explain why the priority. Thanks. Love watching your videos.
so for cyclic compounds its totally different, check out my tutorial on IUPAC for cyclic compounds!
I also wanted to ask-- why are we not including Z/E stereoisomerism in this IUPAC name?
