Katritzky nomenclature

Katritzky nomenclature is a systematic way to name chemical compounds called pyridinium salts, which are derived from pyridine, a six-membered nitrogen-containing ring. It involves naming the parent pyridine structure and then indicating modifications, such as substituents attached to the ring or the formation of salts with nitrogen-containing groups. This method standardizes naming to clearly reflect the compound’s structure, making it easier for chemists to identify and communicate about these molecules efficiently and accurately.
