IUPAC nomenclature for organic transformations
The
IUPAC Nomenclature for Transformations
is a methodology for naming a
chemical reaction
. Traditionally a chemical reaction especially in
organic chemistry
is named after its inventor, the so-called
named reaction
, to name just a few:
Knoevenagel condensation
,
Wittig reaction
or
Diels-Alder reaction
. A lot of reactions derive their name from the reagent involved like
bromination
or
acylation
. On rare occasions the reaction is named after the company responsible like in the
Wacker process
or the name only hints to the process involved like in the
halogen dance rearrangement
.The related
IUPAC nomenclature
is designed for naming organic compounds themselves.
