This video tutorial covers the systematic approach to naming amides in organic chemistry. It begins with basic rules for naming simple amides, such as dropping the 'e' from the alkane name and adding 'amide'. The tutorial progresses through examples of primary, secondary, and tertiary amides, including those with cyclohexane and benzene rings. It also addresses complex structures with multiple substituents and functional groups, providing a comprehensive guide to naming various amide compounds.
