List of organic compounds

This page aims to list well-known organic compounds, including organometallic compounds, to stimulate the creation of Wikipedia articles. Note that purely inorganic compounds, minerals, and chemical elements are not included on this list. There are also no generic terms (e.g., carbohydrate) or mixtures of no fixed composition (e.g., naphtha, gasoline), although natural oils (such as linseed oil) are included. Compounds and enzymes that are overwhelmingly of interest to biochemists, such as [[* Cytochrome c peroxidase, are listed under list of biomolecules.

This list is not necessarily complete or up to date – if you see an article that should be here but isn't (or one that shouldn't be here but is), please update the page accordingly.

For substances with a number prefix such as 2-Butanol or 1,3-Cyclohexadiene, please use the first letter of the name (in this case under B or C) to find the compound. Note that such names usually have the first letter capitalised in a title or at the beginning of a sentence.

Relevant links for chemical compounds are:


These (commercial) links may also provide useful information:

  • Sigma Aldrich [2]
  • Acros Organics [3]
  • Lancaster [4]

Please note that whilst most compounds are referred to by their IUPAC name), "traditional" names have also been kept where they are in wide use or of significant historical interest.

Science kits, science lessons, science toys, maths toys, hobby kits, science games and books - these are some of many products that can help give your kid an edge in their science fair projects, and develop a tremendous interest in the study of science. When shopping for a science kit or other supplies, make sure that you carefully review the features and quality of the products. Compare prices by going to several online stores. Read product reviews online or refer to magazines.

Start by looking for your science kit review or science toy review. Compare prices but remember, Price $ is not everything. Quality does matter.
