Description: The book provides a quick guide/review of organic chemical nomenclature rules. "Organic Nomenclature: A Programmed Introduction" provides correct, up-to-date nomenclature usage. It emphasizes the rules, styles, and details of IUPAC names -- such as punctuation and spacing -- which are used almost exclusively in Chemical Abstracts indexing. The book includes a separate treatment of functional group classes and combines coverage of aliphatic and aromatic compounds. It focuses more on systematic nomenclature than on unsystematic names that may have little use in the future. The fifth edition of "Organic Nomenclature: A Programmed Introduction" has been updated to incorporate recently revised IUPAC recommendations on organic chemical nomenclature. In addition, the information included in Chapter 15 of previous editions is now incorporated throughout this fifth edition. A valuable reference book for professional chemists seeking an up-to-date guide to correct nomenclature usage.
