An Introduction to Carbonyl Compounds

At 6:39, wouldn't that just be benzaldehyde? Since there's only one carbon, the benzene group would be the main chain, right?

[@MaChemGuy]

Yes but it's also known as phenylmethanal using the IUPAC nomenclature system. Thanks for the comment. I'll add a note to the video

at 7:19 isn't it phenylethanal as the o is on the end of the carbron chain in the ethyl group?

[@insertnamhere568]

A Naike No. the C=O is on the middle of the carbon chain. He's right for naming it phenylethanone

[@AA-ee4ec]

ah ok my mistake thanks :)

[@insertnamhere568]

Np :)

Do you think I’ll be fine if I use your videos alongside checking the specification to make sure I’ve learnt everything that is needed? I go on study leave after next week and haven’t got any exams until 4th June.

[@MaChemGuy]

I’ve seen it done before 👍

Do you have any tips on how to use the resources provided by you to revise for my chemistry mock exam in 3 weeks time?

Is trans not the Z form, I could be wrong...

[@MaChemGuy]

Eunice Otoo Trans is definitely E from the German word for opposite 'Entgagen' i.e. groups on opposite sides of the C=C
