3 Brief Demonstration of the General Nomenclature Rules
Substituent groups derived from alcohols are characterized by the ending ... yloxy.
4H-[ 1,31Imidazolo[ 4,s-cl
pyridin-2-yloxy
The following abbreviated forms are retained: methoxy, ethoxy, isopropoxy, (iso-, sec-, tert-)butoxy, phenoxy. Divalent groups of that kind
(-0-( CH2)n-0-) are designated as methylene-, ethylene-, trimethylenedioxy, etc. groups. Groups such as -O-CO-O-, -O-SOz-O-, etc. are named
carbonyldioxy, sulfonyldioxy etc. (see Section 2.2.6.2).

Salts of alcohols and phenols whose names end with ... 01 can generally be
designated as ... olates.
