The main purpose of chemical nomenclature
is to identify a chemical species by means of written or spoken words.
To be useful for communication among chemists, nomenclature for chemical
compounds should additionally contain an explicit or implied relationship
to the structure of the compound, in order that the reader or listener
can deduce the structure from the name. This purpose requires a system
of principles and rules, the application of which gives rise to a systematic
nomenclature. Of course, a wide range of traditional names, semisystematic
or trivial, are also in use for a core group of common compounds. This
new volume can be considered a guide to the essential "Blue Book",
the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry. It contains the latest updates
to the rules and on international practice, and thus will be invaluable
to organic chemists everywhere.
