Abstract

Standard nomenclature is well known, but it may be noted that (a) iso- (to denote terminal CHMe2) is restricted to C3–C6, t- (tertiary) to C4 and C5, and s- (secondary) to C4*, (b) such modified names may never be used for substituted derivatives of the compounds or radicals, e.g., CHMe2·CHCl- is 1-chloro-2-methylpropyl, and (c) the free valency of radicals always has number 1, e.g., Prn 2CH- is 1-propylbutyl and not 4-heptyl.
