Abstract
Chapters 1, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3 of this book have dealt in some detail with the nomenclature rules for parent structures and the wealth of different functional compound classes based there upon. The present chapter will recapitulate once again in a more summary manner the most important directives for the construction of the complete names of more complex compounds. This entails a reconsideration of the question of priorities for ring and chain systems already briefly approached in the pertinent sections of Chapter 1. Since functional groups must ultimately be included in the decisions, extension of the priority rules becomes imperative, as will be shown in the following sections.
