Carboxylic Acids and their Derivatives
Amic acids Rule C-431 
431.1 - When a dicarboxylic acid has a trivial name and when one of its carboxyl groups is replaced by a carboxamide group -C(=O)-NH2, the
resulting amic acid is named by replacing the suffix "-ic'' of the trivial name of the dicarboxylic acid by the suffix "-amic".
Examples to Rule C-431.1
The following names are also recommended:
431.2 - Acyl radicals derived from the above amic acids are named by replacing the "-amic acid" ending by "-amoyl''.
Examples to Rule C-431.2
431.3 - When the corresponding dicarboxylic acid has a trivial or semitrivial name, N-phenyl derivatives of-amic acids are named by changing the ending "-amic acid'' to
"-anilic acid''.
Examples to Rule C-431.3
431.4 - Ionoamides of dicarboxylic acids without trivial names and the mono- or di-amides of tricarboxylic acids, etc., are designated as carbamoyl derivatives of the acid
named on the basis of the remaining carboxyl groups.
(This Rule is partly alternative to Rule C-431.1.)
