This IUPAC Technical Report is one of a series that seeks to distil the essentials of IUPAC nomenclature recommendations. The present report provides a succinct summary of material presented in the publication Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry—IUPAC Recommendations and Preferred Names 2013, the so -called Blue Book.

The content of this report is also produced as a four-sided lift-out document for easy dissemination (available as PAC supplementary information) and reproduced in this issue as center fold.

See IUPAC project 2010-055-1-800 details and other similar documents, including the Brief Guide to the Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry and numerous translations.
