NameIt provides students with practice naming organic compounds using IUPAC rules and drawing structures given the IUPAC name. The program includes problems involving 17 different functional groups.

The user chooses the mode (structure-to-name or name- to-structure) and the class of compounds and the program randomly selects ten unknowns from its database.
.
Answers are checked for correct root, terminal, substituents, substituent order, locants, locant order and punctuation.

The program recognizes both 1979 IUPAC standard conventions and the 1993 IUPAC recommendations. The extensive help system provides a comprehensive discussion of both of these sets of rules.

The package also includes a utility program for adding and editing names and structures.
