Obscure OC nomenclature

[deleted678432]

How extensive is nomenclature tested on the DAT? In destroyer there is nomenclature such as Anthracene, naphthalene, pyrrole, bicyclo compounds, and 2-methyloxirane. Do we need to know this in-depth nomenclature? If so, where is a good place to learn this?

also wondering this, and would also like to know if naming compounds for gen chem is directly tested?

I found the nomenclature covered in Chad's videos was more than sufficient for the DAT. He highlights a few specific compounds you should know the name of, but there's not too many of them.

Nomenclature of Aromatic compounds including Anthracene and naphthalene, as well as bicyclo is a required knowledge for DAT exam.

Klein textbook, Solomons or Jankse Smith Organic chem books have very good explabatioms as well as practise problems on those.

Hope this helps.
