Commission on Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (111.1) Extension and Revision of the Nomenclature for Spiro Compounds

Spiro ring systems have two or more rings linked by one common atom. Several different methods are used to name such systems. Rules A-41, A-43, B-b and B-12 (Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, 1979) describe the basics of how to name these compounds. The alternative methods in rules A-42 and B-i 1 are abandoned. This document describes the nomenclature in greater detail and extends it to cover ...

Principles of a Novel Nomenclature of Organic Compounds

The nomenclature of organic compounds is a fascinating field of research, due to the enormous variety of molecular structures. The contemporary computer—assisted molecular design expands more and more this variety of molecular forms. The pitfalls of the available nomenclatures (Ref. 1—5) are discussed in the literature (Ref. 6—9) and they prompt further efforts in the field. Two such pitfalls s...
