Nomenclature exercise (Chemical abstracts)

Hello guys. I have an exam about the nomenclature of organic molecules and I was wondering if any of you have any example molecules with solutions to them (otherwise I could just draw some wild structures myself).

I solved all of mine that have been given as homework over the semester and would like to keep practicing. Maybe some of you have been doing such a lecture and still have some hand outs or something.

I made a really quick thing that grabs a random compound from ChemSpider and displays it:

Click the link for the solution, reload to get a new one.

Thanks a lot, this is very helpful.

I guess I will have to reload a couple times to find something for my skill level, haha.

The only thing that I have to be wary about is, that the molecules are not in CA nomenclature (I am guessing IUPAC), so the solutions are not always correct, with what I am looking for.

this is a little bit too easy. It's just acyclic mono-alcohols/acids etc. I was looking more for things like annulated heterocycles with and without bridges, etc.
