2-chlorobenzoic acid: form recommended by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) for the systematic name corresponding to the CAS number indicated on the present record. 4, record 1, English, - 2%2Dchlorobenzoic%20acid
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
OCBA: This might be an in-house or a non-recognized abbreviation; not to be used alone, to avoid any risk of confusion. 4, record 1, English, - 2%2Dchlorobenzoic%20acid
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 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. 4, record 1, English, - 2%2Dchlorobenzoic%20acid

acide 2-chlorobenzoïque : forme recommandée par l'UICPA (Union internationale de chimie pure et appliquée) pour le nom systématique correspondant au numéro CAS indiqué sur la présente fiche. 1, record 1, French, - acide%202%2Dchlorobenzo%C3%AFque
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
AoCB : abréviation non officielle; ne pas l'utiliser seule, pour éviter tout risque de confusion. 1, record 1, French, - acide%202%2Dchlorobenzo%C3%AFque
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 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. 1, record 1, French, - acide%202%2Dchlorobenzo%C3%AFque
