Carboxylic Acids and their Derivatives
Simple Carboxylic Acids Rule C-403 
403.1 - When the acid is named according to Rule C-401.1, the name of a univalent or bivalent acyl radical formed by removal of
hydroxyl from all the carboxyl groups is derived from the name of the corresponding acid by changing the ending "-oic'' to "-oyl''.
Examples to Rule C-403.1
403.2 - If an acid name is formed with the ending "-carboxylic", the name of the radical obtained by removal of hydroxyl from all carboxyl groups is formed by changing the
ending "-carboxylic" to "-carbonyl".
Examples to Rule C-403.2
Note: In radicofunctional nomenclature, names of the type cyclohexanecarbonyl are used, as in:
When, however, the acyl group is a substituent, the compound radical prefix form of type cyclohexylcarbonyl is used, as in:
These principles apply to all acyl radicals whose names end in "carbonyl'', "sulfonyl'', "sulfinyl'', etc. (cf. Rules C-543.3, C-631.1, C-641.7,
C-641.8, and C-641.9).
