The nomenclature used in the literature for the heterocyclic and exocyclic PAC is often diversified and confusing. Different preferences for naming generic classes and individual heterofunctional PAC are common. An increase in the number of papers presented in the PAH symposium proceedings on N-, O- and S-PAC has prompted a brief compilation of the key rules of nomenclature for these classes of compounds. Hence, a synopsis of the current rules for nomenclature applied to monofunctional N-, O-, and S-PAC as published by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is presented here in an effort to clarify and unify nomenclature used in the proceedings of these symposia. The nomenclature methods that are abridged and presented in this paper were taken mainly from Sections A, B, and C of the IUPAC rules on nomenclature of organic chemicals. In this paper, the nomenclature for the nonfunctional PAH is first briefly reviewed, followed by three sections devoted to outlining the key aspects of naming the N-, O-, and S-PAC.
