* Systematic names should be used in derivatives formed by substitution on a carbon a<strong>to</strong>m.<br />

Note: The names in parentheses are abandoned but are listed for reference <strong>to</strong> older literature.<br />

Many trivial names exist for acids; these are listed in Table 1.11. Generally, radicals are formed<br />

by replacing -ic acid by -oyl.* When a trivial name is given <strong>to</strong> an acyclic monoacid or diacid, the<br />

numeral 1 is always given as locant <strong>to</strong> the carbon a<strong>to</strong>m of a carboxyl group in the acid or <strong>to</strong> the<br />

carbon a<strong>to</strong>m with a free valence in the radical RCO9.<br />

* Exceptions: formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, isobutyryl, valeryl, isovaleryl, oxalyl, malonyl, succinyl, glutaryl, furoyl,<br />

and thenoyl.
