When you're naming organic compounds in chemistry, when is it time to use the word "neo"?

I'm not sure of the rules using this term. And, when you do use it, can you use the letter N to abbreviate it? I'm in my first organic chemistry class, so any illumination on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Neo-, as in neopentane, 2,2-dimethylpropane, is not a legitimate name. In the IUPAC system, neo- may be conserved, allowed. My berst advice would be to learn where it is used, but avoid it all else. Do not use letter N to denote neo.





Organic chemical nomenclature is like languages in India. There are official languages like English and Hindi. But if you wantto get around thecountry, you have to learn a little bit about all theother languages spoken there.
Reply:i just dropped my organic chem today. good luck i rather take it in the summer when i do not have any other class to take. seriously i was overloaded with micro, genetics, botany and orgo and orgo had to go. that is where i stopped nomenclature. it is really confusing. email me i had this book that really helped me. i can give you the name of the book
