  2. Acetonitrile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetonitrile

    Acetonitrile, often abbreviated MeCN (methyl cyanide), is the chemical compound with the formula CH 3 CN and structure H 3 C−C≡N. This colourless liquid is the simplest organic nitrile (hydrogen cyanide is a simpler nitrile, but the cyanide anion is not classed as organic). It is produced mainly as a byproduct of acrylonitrile manufacture.

  3. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    To avoid long and tedious names in normal communication, the official IUPAC naming recommendations are not always followed in practice, except when it is necessary to give an unambiguous and absolute definition to a compound. IUPAC names can sometimes be simpler than older names, as with ethanol, instead of ethyl alcohol. For relatively simple ...

  4. IUPAC nomenclature of chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    IUPAC nomenclature is used for the naming of chemical compounds, based on their chemical composition and their structure. [1] For example, one can deduce that 1-chloropropane has a Chlorine atom on the first carbon in the 3-carbon propane chain.

    Used due to shorter length compared to the IUPAC name of 1,8-dinitro-3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo[6.6.6]icosane. Sounds similar to the word dinosaur: Gardenin: Gardenins, which are flavones extracted from the Indian plant Gardenia lucida, come in a variety of forms. Hirsutene: Hirsutene [41] [42] Is also named after an animal, a goat (Hircus ...

    3 COOH, which is commonly called acetic acid and is also its recommended IUPAC name, but its formal, systematic IUPAC name is ethanoic acid. The IUPAC's rules for naming organic and inorganic compounds are contained in two publications, known as the Blue Book [1] [2] and the Red Book, [3] respectively. A third publication, known as the Green ...

  7. Propionitrile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propionitrile

    Propionitrile, also known as ethyl cyanide and propanenitrile, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CN. It is a simple aliphatic nitrile. The compound is a colourless, water-soluble liquid. It is used as a solvent and a precursor to other organic compounds. [7]

  8. Benzyl cyanide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzyl_cyanide

    Benzyl cyanide (abbreviated BnCN) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 CN. This colorless oily aromatic liquid is an important precursor to numerous compounds in organic chemistry. [2] It is also an important pheromone in certain species. [3]
