Hey organic students � listen up!
You can name any carbon chain using IUPAC
Saturated, substituents, or with a ketone,
Practice makes perfect once you get in the zone
Step 1: you need to count out the longest chain
Once you�ve done that, give it a prefix name
meth, eth, prop, but, or up as high as it goes
Step 2: Name and number substituent groups
And remember fluoro, its f-l-u-
Now put them in order so it�s the lowest sum total
Step 3: keep in mind the substituent repetition
Di, tri, tetra add to the beginning
now we�re at the finale, put it together
Alphabetize substituents according to the first letter,
Only pay attention to its actual name
Look how easy it is to label an alkane
