Nomenclature of Polycyclic Compounds: Naphthalene, Biphenyl, Anthracene, Spiro, Bicyclo

The video tutorial covers the nomenclature of polycyclic structures, starting with a review of simple alkene naming. It then explores the naming conventions for naphthalene, biphenyl, and anthracene, focusing on substituent positioning and numbering schemes. The tutorial also delves into the naming of spiro and bicyclo compounds, using ChemDoodle to visualize and understand the rules. The video emphasizes the importance of finding the longest carbon chain and using the lowest set of locants for substituents.
