Abstract
The present paper describes a computer-aided IUPAC nomenclature generation system for acyclic compounds. The program performs sequentially to construct a plausible IUPAC name for a given structural formula. The procedure follows faithfully the authentic rules; i.e. characteristic group search, determination of principal group, determination of principal chain, determination and naming of substituents, and construction of full name. The program has been tested for over one thousand structural formulas and obtained correct names for them with about 80% accuracy.
