UNC1999 [Supplementary Concept]
Date introduced: June 2, 2017
Heterocyclic Compounds, 1-Ring
Organic compounds that contain a ring structure made up of carbon and one or more additional elements such as nitrogen and oxygen.
Year introduced: 1998
Heterocyclic Compounds, Fused-Ring
Multiple ring heterocyclic compounds containing two or more rings that share two atoms and one bond in common.
Year introduced: 2017
Acids, Carbocyclic
Carboxylic acids that have a homocyclic ring structure in which all the ring atoms are carbon.
Amides
Organic compounds containing the -CO-NH2 radical. Amides are derived from acids by replacement of -OH by -NH2 or from ammonia by the replacement of H by an acyl group. (From Grant and Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Azoles
Five membered rings containing a NITROGEN atom.
Benzamides
BENZOIC ACID amides.
Year introduced: 1973
Benzene Derivatives
Organic compounds derived from BENZENE.
Year introduced: 1968
Benzoates
Derivatives of BENZOIC ACID. Included under this heading are a broad variety of acid forms, salts, esters, and amides that contain the carboxybenzene structure.
Year introduced: 1963
Carboxylic Acids
Organic compounds containing the carboxy group (-COOH). This group of compounds includes amino acids and fatty acids. Carboxylic acids can be saturated, unsaturated, or aromatic.
Year introduced: 1973(1971)
Heterocyclic Compounds
Cyclic compounds that include atoms other than carbon in their ring structure.
Pyridones
Pyridine derivatives with one or more keto groups on the ring.
Heterocyclic Compounds, 2-Ring
A class of heterocyclic compounds that include a two-ring fused structure. Both aromatic and non-aromatic ring structures are included in this category.
Hydrocarbons
Organic compounds that primarily contain carbon and hydrogen atoms with the carbon atoms forming a linear or circular structure.
Hydrocarbons, Aromatic
Organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen in the form of an unsaturated, usually hexagonal ring structure. The compounds can be single ring, or double, triple, or multiple fused rings.
Hydrocarbons, Cyclic
Organic compounds composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen forming a closed ring that may be either alicyclic or aromatic.
Indazoles
A group of heterocyclic aromatic organic compounds consisting of the fusion of BENZENE and PYRAZOLES.
Year introduced: 1991(1971)
Organic Chemicals
A broad class of substances containing carbon and its derivatives. Many of these chemicals will frequently contain hydrogen with or without oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. They exist in either carbon chain or carbon ring form.
Piperazines
Compounds that are derived from PIPERAZINE.
Pyrazoles
Azoles of two nitrogens at the 1,2 positions, next to each other, in contrast with IMIDAZOLES in which they are at the 1,3 positions.
