In chemistry, a semisystematic name is a name for a chemical compound that contains some elements of systematic chemical nomenclature but is not completely systematic.[1] Examples include methane, propanol, benzoic acid, glycerol, acetone, styrene. Many semisystematic names are retained names in IUPAC nomenclature,[2] and may also be preferred IUPAC names.[3]
