Study Notes
IUPAC Nomenclature
- The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) recommends the nomenclature of organic chemistry.
- Official IUPAC naming guidelines are published in "Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry," commonly referred to as the Blue Book.
- IUPAC naming recommendations are typically adhered to in scientific literature, educational resources, and chemical databases to ensure standardization.
- Using IUPAC names for relatively simple molecules facilitates clear communication, avoids ambiguity, and enhances understanding across different disciplines.
- An example of a simpler IUPAC name is "Butane," which is preferred over the older name "butyl hydride."
