Searching for a reliable resource to practice IUPAC nomenclature

[samy4408]

Hello, I just learned the bases of IUPAC nomenclature and I couldn't find a good and reliable resource for problems to practice.
if you know one please share it with me .
thanks.

Look for ChemSketch program - free and names every molecule you may want to.

Thanks for the replay, I installed Chemsketch but I found that it is a molecules modeling program ,how can i use it to practice nomenclature.

Draw anything, name it using rules, then mark the molecule and choose Tools/Generate/Name for structure from the menu.

Open a textbook, pick the first medium sized organic molecule you see, add a couple of CH2 groups to the middle of the chain or to a ring compound, stick a CH3 on to one of them, or a chlorine or fluorine or OH group, name it, then draw it in ChemSketch. Don't get too adventuous initially, just change some molecules a bit at a time. Lengthening chains and adding something to a side chain is a good way to practice, with chemsketch eventually telling you the answer. Then move, say, the CH3 or fluorine to a different position and try naming it again.
