a. CAS includes ten additional fusion parent components which have higher priority. In order of preference they are:
Anthrazine | (dinaphtho[2,3-a:2',3'-h]phenazine) |
Phenanthrazine | (tetrabenzo[a,c,h,j]phenazine) |
Triphenodioxazine | (dibenzo[e,e']benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']bis[1,4]oxazine) |
Triphenodithiazine | (dibenzo[e,e']benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']bis[1,4]thiazine) |
Phthaloperine | (isoindolo[2,1-a]perimidine) |
Acrindoline | (indolo[3,2-e]acridine) |
Thebenidine | (benzo[lmn]phenanthridine) |
Quinindoline | (indolo[2,3-b]quinoline) |
Quindoline | (indolo[3,2-b]quinoline) |
Anthyridine | (pyrido[2,3-b][1,8]naphthyridine) |
c. Formerly called phenoarsazine
d. Formerly called phenomercazine;CAS calls 2H-phenomercurazine (3,6-cyclohexadien-1-yl-2-ylidene-nitrilo-1,2-phenylene)mercury.
e. Non-standard numbering.
f. -Carboline (pyrido[3,4-b]indole) was abandoned as a fusion parent component in the 4th edition of section B (ref 3).
g. CAS retains the traditional order quinolizine preferred to quinoline, preferred to isoquinoline.
h. Isoxazole, oxazole, isothiazole, thiazole, isoselenazole, selenazole, isotellurazole and tellurazole are now named as Hantzsch-Widman heterocycles (1,2-oxazole, 1,3-oxazole, 1,2-thiazole, 1,3-thiazole etc.) but were formerly used as components. They are still used by CAS and Beilstein.
i. Formerly called phenoxaphosphine as used by CAS.
j. Formerly called phenoxarsine as used by CAS.
k. Formerly called phenoxantimonine as used by CAS.
l. Formerly called dibenzo[b,e][1,4]dioxine. CAS uses dibenzo[b,e][1,4]dioxin, Beilstein uses dibenzo[1,4]dioxine.
m. Called 1-benzopyran by CAS. Similarly CAS uses 1-benzothiopyran, 1-benzoselenin and 1-benzotellurin for the chalcogen analogues.
n. Called 2-benzopyran by CAS. Similarly CAS uses 2-benzothiopyran, 2-benzoselenin and 2-benzotellurin for the chalcogen analogues.
o. Benzofuran and isobenzofuran are no longer used as fusion parent components. CAS still uses both whereas Beilstein uses both for the unmodified ring system but only furan for further fusion.
p. Formerly called phenothiarsine.
q. Standard numbering [not as acridine (20)] (Ref 3a is in error on this point).
r. Formerly called phenomercurin or phenomercurine; CAS and Beilstein calls mercuranthrene cyclo-di--1,2-phenylenedimercury.
