Organic nomenclature: A programmed introduction (Prentice-Hall foundations of modern organic chemistry series. Workbook supplement)

Présentation de l'éditeur

The perfect complement to your first organic chemistry course or for quick review in later courses, Organic Nomenclature: A Programmed Introduction, Sixth Edition teaches correct, up-to-date organic chemical nomenclature. The rules, styles, and details of IUPAC names are emphasized ― such as punctuation and spacing ― which are used almost exclusively in Chemical Abstracts indexing. It includes a separate treatment of functional group classes and combines coverage of aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Also, it focuses more on systematic nomenclature than on unsystematic names that may have little use in the future.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Appropriate as a text supplement for beginning courses in organic chemistry (one-semester or two-semester).

This workbook reviews organic chemical nomenclature rules and was written by a former secretary to the IUPAC Commission on the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry. Considered the best self-tutorial tool for fundamental organic nomenclature. Designed to enable students to communicate chemical information clearly and to use accepted indexing services like Chemical Abstracts.
