[1] It has traditionally been published in an orange cover, hence its informal name, the Orange Book.

In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended [1] [2] by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). It is published in the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (informally called the Blue Book). [3]
Before the creation of IUPAC, many other nomenclatures were proposed. The Geneva Nomenclature of 1892 was created as a result of many other meetings in the past, the first of which was established in 1860 by August Kekulé .
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) from 1920 [20] International Association of Chemical Societies (IACS) from 1913 to 1919 [21] The IUPAC Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights has undergone several name changes between its founding in 1899 and 2002, when it received its present name [22]:
The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.
