Overview
This reference book aids chemical communication through the presentation of methods and their use in forming reasonable, acceptabel, and unambiguous names for organic compounds. It presents a common language for both sender and receiver in any context so that the nomenclature is made useful and understandable. The book is divided into two parts. The first is a general overview of organic nomenclature, the second uses concepts from the first part to answer the question ""How do I name...?"". Individual chapter are concerned with almost every class of organic derivative, stressing th relationship between structure and names.

Reviews
Compiles and clarifies the rules for naming and identifying the composition and molecular structure of organic substances. Fox (Naval Research Laboratory) and Powell (retired member of the IUPAC) describe nomenclature for compounds that serve as parent hydrides for naming organic compounds, then address compound classes organized by means of various suffixes or classes names used in naming them. They propose novel nomenclature where needed, and identify common errors to illustrate some misuses of nomenclature. The second edition incorporates changes that have occurred in the words and syllables used to describe structures and substances since 1974. --SciTech Book News<br>
