Nomenclature of Nitriles and Anhydrides

This video tutorial covers the naming conventions for acids, anhydrides, and nitriles. It begins with symmetrical anhydrides, explaining how to derive names like ethanoic and propanoic anhydride. The tutorial then moves to unsymmetrical anhydrides, detailing the naming process for compounds with different carbon chains on each side. Finally, it addresses nitriles, providing examples of naming simple and complex nitriles, including those with additional functional groups like methyl and bromine. The video concludes with naming benzene derivatives with nitrile groups.
