Description
Common names were the earliest attempts to identify compounds, which were later followed by a systematic, rule-based IUPAC nomenclature system. Prefixes like n-, iso-, neo-, sec-, and tert- are part of those retained common names that are sometimes used to identify and distinguish between branched and unbranched structures.
Organic Chemistry Fundamentals Course identifies 14 early concepts required to master organic chemistry reactions comprising of 14 carefully crafted, simplified, illustrative, and descriptive chapters.
