How do you find the IUPAC name?

The IUPAC name can be determined by using the standard steps of nomenclature in chemistry. The IUPAC name will use a root word, prefix and suffix to name an organic compound according to its bond and structure. IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds refers to the systematic approach taken for the nomenclature of organic compounds as per the recommendation of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (often abbreviated to IUPAC).

In this nomenclature system, organic compounds are named with the use of functional groups as the prefix or suffix to the parent compounds name.
