Organic Nomenclature: A Programmed Introduction

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.
