How to know all the common names and structures of the organic compounds?

i have been noticing that many times we need write the IU PAC names of the structures whose common names are given eg. write the IU PAC name of o-anisidine. common names of compounds are also used in conversion questions. can u please tell me where do i find a list of such common names and there structures. its just few more days for my 12th boards.

How to know all the common names and structures of the organic compounds?
All the names of the organic compounds by common names are here





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_org...





you should study as much as you can about IUPAC nomenclature





Then Learn the structures of the Compounds you have the common name for.





Then you can derive the IUPAC name from that. They are very long though for many compounds like the vitamins we eat so its very hard to learn the IUPAC





I think wikipedia is the best for these kinds of things
Reply:Many websites exist. I would suggest this one: http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/
