IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) sets rules for systematic naming of organic and inorganic compounds. For organics, select the longest carbon chain, identify substituents, and number positions to minimize locant numbers. Functional groups take priority in naming. Clear, standardized names prevent ambiguity, especially important in complex natural products and pharmaceuticals, ensuring accurate exchange of information worldwide.
