IUPAC Name List

In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

It is published in the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry. Ideally, every possible organic compound should have a name from which an unambiguous structural formula can be created. There is also an IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry.

The IUPAC nomenclature is based on naming the molecule according to its longest chain of carbons, whether they’re connected by single bonds or form a ring. All deviations, be they multiple bonds or atoms other than carbon and hydrogen, are indicated by prefixes or suffixes according to a specific set of priorities.

Simple molecules are more easily understood than non-systematic names and have the additional advantage of being durable.

However, the common name is often substantially shorter and clearer, and so preferred. These non-systematic names are often derived from an original source of the compound.

Also, very long names may be less clear than structural formulas.
