Octyl phenol condensed with x moles ethylene oxide; for example: with 3 moles = octylphenol EO (3).

OBS

The prefixes "ortho-," "meta-" and "para-," along with their corresponding abbreviations ("o-," "m-" and "p-"), appear in italics and are ignored in alphabetizing. According to the actual chemical nomenclature rules in organic chemistry (in 2003), the numbers designating the positions of the disubstitution groups (1,2- for "ortho-," 1,3- for "meta-" and 1,4- for "para-") are to be preferred to the symbols "o-," "m-" and "p-." Furthermore, the prefixes "ortho-," "meta-" and "para-" should not be used anymore, and their corresponding abbreviations ("o-," "m-," and "p-") will soon be judged to be avoided, if not totally condemned.

OBS

alpha; omega: These words must be replaced by the corresponding Greek letters or italicized.

OBS

Les préfixes de position «ortho-», «méta-» et «para-», tout comme les abréviations correspondantes «o-», «m-» et «p-», s'écrivent en italique et n'interviennent pas dans une classification par ordre alphabétique. Selon les règles de nomenclature de chimie organique en vigueur aujourd'hui (en 2003), il est recommandé d'utiliser les chiffres 1,2-, 1,3- et 1,4-, respectivement. Les préfixes «ortho-», «méta-» et «para-» ne doivent plus être utilisés. L'usage des symboles correspondants («o-», «m-» et «p-») sera bientôt fortement déconseillé, sans être exclu.

CONT

The use of fumigants such as methyl bromide and epoxides (i.e., ethylene and propylene oxides) is important in the treatment of large volumes of foodstuffs to destroy insects. In addition, ethylene oxide - carbon dioxide processes have been developed for greatly reducing the bacterial populations of heat sensitive, highly flavored substances; spices are given such treatments to reduce to tolerable amounts the incidence of thermophilic contaminants.
