Bring the power of IUPAC naming to your desktop!

ACD/Name (Chemist Version) offers a standardized set of features for quick and simple generation of IUPAC names, and structures from names. It is a streamlined version of our popular ACD/Name software.

R-9.1 Trivial and semisystematic names retained for naming organic compounds

The following tables list trivial and semisystematic names for parent structures and parent substituent prefixes that are retained in these IUPAC recommendations for naming organic compounds. They are of three types:

· Type 1: Names that may be used when the structure is substituted at any position;

· Type 2: Names that may be used only when the structure is substituted in certain ways, for example, at a ring position;

· Type 3: Names that may not be used when the structure is substituted at any way.

The list in the tables of R-9.1 along with names generated according to recommendations in R-2 are to be considered limiting unless specified otherwise; however, use of trivial and semisystematic names for compounds covered by special rules, for example, amino acids, carbohydrates, steroids, and, in general, natural products and related compounds, is allowed. Contracted forms and substituent group names not derived by a systematic transformation are given. However, names of derivatives of parent structures formed by systematic transformation of the parent name, such as the addition of suffixes, are not included. Not all the names for parent ring structures given in the tables may be used to generate names for fused-ring structures; a comprehensive document dealing with nomenclature for fused- and bridged-ring parent structures is in preparation.
