A systematic approach to naming polyfunctional organic compounds is presented. Latest IUPAC rules are incorporated and the table of order of precedence for the major functional groups is assembled. The scope of nomenclature is limited to common functional groups that are covered by undergraduate courses in colleges and universities.
Supplement
Examples of names of organic compounds, seniority of chains in naming, seniority of ring systems in naming, and the Hantzsch–Widman sytem of naming are available.
