The first concerted international effort to develop coherent policies for systematic organic nomenclature was made by the International Commission for the Reform of Chemical Nomenclature at the Geneva Congress in 1892. From the Commission developed what is known today as the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC), whose declared function is to systematize and codify existing nomenclature practices insofar as they are determined to be sound. Such efforts have been well documented [15] and have resulted in the publication of comprehensive rules for systematic inorganic and organic nomenclature [16,17]. Paren-...

Systematic nomenclature on a worldwide scale began in 1892 when a committee of the International Chemical Congress established a set of standards known as the Geneva Rules for naming organic compounds. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (ILTPAC) http /Ywww,iupac.org/dhtml home.html was formed in 1919 and further developed this nomenclature system. In 1886 in the United States, the American Chemical Society (ACS) established a Committee on...

Official Nomenclature.—In order to avoid this confusion a congress of chemists which met in Geneva in 1892 adopted an Official System of Nomenclaiure. The names according to this system and known as the Official Names (abbreviated O. N.) are now used in all reference books and dictionaries, such as Beilstein, Handbuch der Organischen Chemie and Richter, Lexikon der Kohlenstoff-Verbindungen. It...
