Abstract: Name reactions are the cornerstone of organic chemistry and constitute a vital component of organic chemistry experiments in universities. This article provides a concise overview of organic name reactions, including those named after Chinese chemists. The focus is primarily on the current status of name reactions in university organic chemistry experiments, exploring their teaching characteristics, advantages, and future trends. This article serves as a reference for domestic colleagues engaged in experimental teaching research, as well as for expanding new methods and technologies in experiments. Furthermore, it aims to enhance students’ interest in learning and foster a sense of national pride.

Key words: Organic chemistry experiment, Name reaction, Current situation, Development trend
