(i) In organic nomenclature (C-404.1 of [14]), 'succinyl' signifies the bivalent group formed from succinic acid by removal of both hydroxyl groups, but in biochemical usage it usually signifies the 3-carboxypropanoyl group, e.g. succinyl-CoA.
(ii) The use of D for 'di' and T for 'tri' and 'tetra' is discouraged if these apply to atoms or groups for which simple symbols exist, e.g. in CF3 CO-, Me3Si and H4 folate. We feel less strongly when their avoidance involves giving unusual meanings to symbols, e.g. N for nitro, so Dnp and N2ph are offered as alternative symbols for dinitrophenyl. See also Note ii of 3AA-15.2.5.
(iii) The symbol HCO- is preferred to CHO- for the formyl group, because CHO- has sometimes been used to indicate the attachment of carbohydrate.
(iv) In the name column the locant "o-" should be in italics and in the symbol column and molecular formulae in the name column numbers should be subscript.

Note.
(i) In the name Group column the prefix "tert-" should be in italics; in the Symbol column
numbers should be subscript; and in the Name column "t-", "S-" and "N-" should be in
italics.(ii) Carboxyl substituents will not normally appear as prefixes in the names of derivatives of amino acids or peptides, so the name of the group, its prefix name, given in column 1, is little used in naming compounds. Column 3 is therefore given to show how derivatives containing the group are named (by one of the alternative methods of 3AA-9.1).
