IUPAC nomenclature is the method to name organic compounds. There are thousands and thousands of organic compounds that are discovered, naming all these compounds differently is impossible. So the rules of IUPAC nomenclatures are made to name all the organic compounds systematically.

It provides some details like the identification of the longest carbon chain and substituents.
