Aldehydes, Ketones, and Their Derivatives Trivial Names Rule C-305
305.1 - When the corresponding monobasic acid has a trivial name, the name of the
aldehyde may be formed from the trivial name of the acid by changing the ending "-ic
acid" or "-oic acid" to "-aldehyde".
Note: Since all the carboxyl groups of a polycarboxylic acid must be changed to aldehyde
groups in order that the compound be named according to this Rule it is not necessary to
introduce "di" or "tri" into such aldehyde names. (For aldehydic acids, see Rule C-415,
and C-416.)
305.4 - The names of amino aldehydes are formed from the names of the corresponding
amino-free aldehydes. They are not formed from the trivial names of the amino acids
unless the latter end in "-ic acid".
