Complicated polycylic compounds often appear in recent chemical studies. This review explains the nomenclature of those polycyclic compounds-fused ring systems, bridged ring systems, and spiro ring systems.
Although the nomenclatures of polycyclic hydrocarbons and heterocycles are provided under a common principle, the IUPAC rule book describes them separately in Section A and B. Since this separate description makes difficult to understand the nomenclature, this review gives a package explanation which covers both hydrocarbons and heterocycles. Cited apt examples will be useful rather than the text of the nomenclature rule.
