Brief Demonstration of the General Nomenclature Rules for the Most Important Traditional Compound Classes (Functional Parents)

Abstract

Because the use of different kinds of nomenclature for one and the same compound class is still widespread, it is necessary to bring into focus which principles are to be applied in general. However, only those compound classes will be discussed individually whose naming does not axiomatically follow from Table 8. As a rule, frequently occurring trivial names are compiled in tables in the appendix. The remaining compound classes are mentioned in the examples. Incidentally, it should be noted once again that in the context of substitutive nomenclature certain class names no longer appear at all in the names of the pertinent individual compounds, as in the case of alcohols, ethers, ketones, etc.
