IUPAC nomenclature for organic transformations
The IUPAC Nomenclature for Transformations is a
IUPAC nomenclature is designed for naming organic compounds themselves.[citation needed
]
The IUPAC Nomenclature for Transformations was developed in 1981 and presents a clear-cut methodology for naming an organic reaction. It incorporates the reactant and product in a
chemical transformation
together with one of three transformation types:
- substitutions have the infix -de-. For example: methoxy-de-bromination for the chemical reaction of a bromo-alkane to an alkoxy-alkane
- additions end with -addition. For example: hydro-bromo-addition for the hydrobromination of an alkene
- eliminations. end with -elimination. For example: dibromo-elimination.
