有機化合物のIUPAC命名法

まちがった命名をしないための要点

抄録

The IUPAC nomenclature is not always properly accepted. Many incorrect names are found in contributed papers by many authors. It may be unavoidable that naming compounds of complicated structure is attended with some confusions. On the other hand, a lack of understanding the IUPAC nomenclature is often found in the names of rather simple compounds, since older unreasonable nomenclature is surviving in these familiar compounds. Misunderstandings of the IUPAC nomenclature are also seen.
This review describes a practical guide to write correct names of organic compounds. Several important items of the IUPAC nomenclature are briefly explained with many examples. On some items, examples of incorrect names are quoted from contributed papers, and mistakes are corrected giving proper advice.
