This reference book aids chemical communication through the
presentation of methods and their use in forming
reasonable, acceptable, 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 the relationship between structure
and names.
