Nomenclature guide

We follow the 1979 IUPAC recommendations summarized in Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons Nomenclature Guide (Loening et al. 1990). The American Chemical Society also publishes the Ring Systems Handbook, which, ca. 1990, contained structural diagrams for over 70,000 unique ring systems (American Chemical Society, 1977 to present).

The scarcity of reviews1 and recent interest in thiochromanones and related compounds calls for a comprehensive summary of this area of heterocyclic chemistry. The apparent similarity between these systems and the naturally occurring chromanones, chromones (flavones), chromenes, etc., is responsible for the continued importance of these sulfur heterocycles. Chemical Abstracts (through November, 1973) has been employed as the principal reference source and nomenclature guide for this review.

Proteins include the enzyme molecules that carry out many of the biological reactions we study, and their sequences are an intrinsic part of the submission process. Their importance, which is discussed in Chapter 2, is also reflected in the submission process, and this information must be captured for representation in the various databases. Also important are the protein product and gene names, if these are known. There are a variety of resources (many present in the lists that conclude these chapters) that offer the correct gene nomenclature for many organisms (cf. Genetic nomenclature guide, Trends in Genetics, 1998). 

Preliminary investigations prior to the development of the AutoNom computer system had concluded that the hierarchical principle underlying the approach to a chemical name construction (parent, substituent, substituent-on-substituent, etc.) should be followed as faithfully as possible while designing the appropriate data format for the name generation analysis. It was decided to implement the format based on an ordered binary tree concept as fulfilling the majority of both nomenclature and system-performance requirements. The data structure maintained in the memory of the computer during nomenclature-guided analysis of the input compound will be hereafter referred to as the name tree .

Quite naturally there is a certain amount of arbitrariness in this system, although the lUPAC nomenclature is followed. The preferred Chemical Abstracts index names for chemical substances have been, with very few exceptions, continued unchanged (since 1972) as set forth in the Ninth Collective Index Guide and in a journal article. Any revisions appear in the updated Index Guide new editions appear at 18-month intervals. Appendix VI is of particular interest to chemists. Reprints of the Appendix may be purchased from Chemical Abstracts Service, Marketing Division, P.O. Box 3012, Columbus, Ohio 43210. 

Several systems of nomenclature have been used for naphthalene, and many trivial and trade names are well estabUshed. The Chemicaly hstracts Index Guide is employed in this article. The numbering of the naphthalene nucleus is shown in (1) older practices are given in (2) and (3).

Part I contains entries referring to the names of compounds according to the Chemical Abstracts Systematic Nomenclature (see Index Guide, Chemical Abstracts vol 76, 1972) The systematic name is followed by Chemical Abstracts Registry Number m brackets (see Chemical Abstracts Registry Handbook 1965-71 and Supplements) and page number... 

In this book we use the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, 1979 Edition ( Blue book , IUPAC, 1979), the Revised Nomenclature for Radicals, Ions, Radical Ions, and Related Species (IUPAC, 1993), and additional rules applied by the Chemical Abstracts Service for the 1987-1991 Index Guide Chemical Abstracts, 1992).

Part II consists entirely of systematic names of specific compounds according to Chemical Abstracts nomenclature (see the Index Guide in Chemical Abstracts, Volume 76, 1972). Each compound is listed under the parent name as it would appear in Chemical Abstracts, and each entry from Volumes 56 through 59 is followed by the registry number in brackets. Entries from Volumes 58 and 59 are, for the most part, taken from the appendices which follow the procedures. When the Chemical Abstracts name differs in Collective Indices 8 and 9, both names have been included. Some compounds in the appendices of this volume have been omitted from the index in accord with the guidelines given for Part I.

This book provides an ideal revision guide for those preparing to sit for a multiple choice questions (MCQs) examination in pharmacy. It covers common general pharmacy practice interventions and operations and other topics commonly featured in examinations, such as simple pharmaceutical calculations, doses, strengths, nomenclature, abbreviations, dosage forms, specialities, trade and generic names, biochemical tests, classification, side-effects, and common diseases. Some recent advances in pharmacy practice are also included. 

Despite the Commission s long-standing position, the scientific community has continued to use source-based nomenclature for homopolymers such as polystyrene and poly(vinyl acetate) because of their simplicity, convenience and obvious relationship with the monomers from which the homopolymers are prepared. The Commission therefore decided to recommend source-based nomenclature as an alternative official nomenclature for homopolymers in a 2001 publication [2]. Consequently, both source-based and structure-based names are now available for most polymers. The names of monomers in the source-based names may be traditional or semi-systematic, if well established by usage, and not necessarily only those retained in the 1993 A Guide to lUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Compounds [3].
