The 56 pages that link to IUPAC nomenclature, each with the reason it gives.
Carboxylic acidRelated: Its suffix rules identify carboxylic acids in systematic names.
AlkeneRelated: Its rules locate and name alkene double bonds and their substituents.

Structural formulaRelated: Systematic names and structural formulas provide complementary ways to specify compounds.
AldehydeRelated: Aldehyde names commonly use the suffix -al, as in ethanal.
AlcoholRelated: Its rules assign alcohol names and locate hydroxyl groups in complex structures.
International Union of Pure and Applied ChemistryBroader topic: IUPAC develops the naming rules used to identify chemical compounds consistently.
KetoneRelated: Ketone names commonly use the suffix -one and specify the carbonyl position.
AlkyneRelated: Its rules specify how to name and number alkyne chains and substituents.
Chemical nomenclatureBroader topic: Its recommendations provide the principal framework for systematic chemical names.
EthyleneNarrower topic: Its rules assign C₂H₄ the name ethene based on its two-carbon alkene structure.
EtherRelated: IUPAC names identify ethers by treating one carbon group and oxygen as an alkoxy substituent.
E–Z notationRelated: E or Z is placed in a systematic name to specify an alkene’s configuration.
NitrileRelated: IUPAC names distinguish nitriles named with the suffix “-nitrile” from cyano substituents.
Alkyl groupRelated: IUPAC names identify alkyl substituents by carbon count and position.
EtheneRelated: The suffix “-ene” in ethene identifies its carbon–carbon double bond.
EpoxideRelated: Systematic names distinguish epoxide structures and specify their positions and substituents.
Systematic element nameRelated: The provisional element-name rules are part of IUPAC's broader naming standards.
Quaternary ammonium compoundRelated: Systematic naming distinguishes the four nitrogen substituents and identifies the associated counterion.
R–S notationRelated: R–S descriptors specify stereochemistry within systematic names of compounds.
Ethyl groupRelated: It specifies how an ethyl substituent is named and positioned in compound names.
HexaneRelated: Its rules distinguish hexane's branched isomers from the straight-chain compound.
Homologous seriesRelated: Systematic names distinguish successive members while preserving their shared structural pattern.
Absolute configurationRelated: Systematic names can include R/S descriptors to distinguish stereoisomers.
Amino groupRelated: It distinguishes amino substituents from amines treated as the principal functional group.
Maleic acidRelated: The systematic name (Z)-but-2-enedioic acid encodes maleic acid’s structure and configuration.
Acyl groupRelated: Its rules distinguish acyl substituent names such as acetyl and benzoyl.
Caproic acidRelated: The systematic name hexanoic acid encodes its six-carbon chain and acid group.
EthanolamineRelated: The systematic name 2-aminoethan-1-ol specifies the positions of both groups.
PhenethylamineRelated: The systematic name, 2-phenylethan-1-amine, encodes the scaffold’s chain and functional group.
Structural isomerRelated: Systematic names distinguish compounds with the same formula but different structures.
DodecaneRelated: The name combines the twelve-carbon root “dodec-” with the alkane ending “-ane.”
AdamantaneRelated: Adamantane’s name is retained as the parent for many substituted cage derivatives.
Butyl acetateRelated: Systematic names distinguish butyl acetate’s chain and branching isomers.
Glutaric acidRelated: Its systematic IUPAC name, pentanedioic acid, describes the chain and terminal acid groups.
HaloalkaneRelated: Haloalkane names identify halogen substituents and their positions on the carbon chain.
Parent hydrideNarrower topic: Parent hydrides are one structural basis for names in this system.
SubstituentRelated: IUPAC names identify substituents and specify their positions on a parent structure.
1-PropanolRelated: The name 1-propanol identifies a three-carbon chain and locates the hydroxyl group at carbon 1.
Allyl chlorideRelated: The systematic name, 3-chloroprop-1-ene, identifies the compound’s structure.
ButanoneRelated: The name butanone identifies a four-carbon chain with a ketone group.
PentadecaneRelated: The name encodes a fifteen-carbon parent chain and the alkane ending.
TetradecaneRelated: Its rules derive the name tetradecane from chain length and saturation.
2-ButyneRelated: The name 2-butyne identifies a four-carbon chain and locates its triple bond.
