The IUPAC's rules for naming organic and inorganic compounds are contained in two publications, known as the Blue Book [1] [2] and the Red Book, [3] respectively. A third publication, known as the Green Book , [ 4 ] recommends the use of symbols for physical quantities (in association with the IUPAP ), while a fourth, the Gold Book , [ 5 ...
In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended [1] [2] by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
The names "caffeine" and "3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione" both signify the same chemical compound.The systematic name encodes the structure and composition of the caffeine molecule in some detail, and provides an unambiguous reference to this compound, whereas the name "caffeine" simply names it.
IUPAC nomenclature is used for the naming of chemical compounds, based on their chemical composition and their structure. [1] For example, one can deduce that 1-chloropropane has a Chlorine atom on the first carbon in the 3-carbon propane chain.
The general rule is to use the name most commonly used to refer to the compound, as evidenced by use in reliable sources (in line with WP:COMMONNAME). Classes of compounds may have more specific guidance on naming, such as the use of international nonproprietary names for pharmaceutical compounds (see WP:NCMED and below).
In chemical nomenclature, a preferred IUPAC name (PIN) is a unique name, assigned to a chemical substance and preferred among all possible names generated by IUPAC nomenclature. The "preferred IUPAC nomenclature" provides a set of rules for choosing between multiple possibilities in situations where it is important to decide on a unique name.
substitutive naming based on parent hydrides (GeCl 2 Me 2 dichlorodimethylgermane) additive naming ([MnFO 3] fluoridotrioxidomanganese) Additionally there are recommendations for the following: naming of cluster compounds; allowed names for inorganic acids and derivatives; naming of solid phases e.g. non-stoichiometric phases
The substituent name for a ring compound is cyclo. The indication (substituent name) for a six carbon chain is hex. The chemical ending for a single bonded carbon chain is ane. The chemical ending for an alcohol is ol. The two chemical endings are combined for an ending of anol indicating a single bonded carbon chain with an alcohol attached to it.
