minus-squareuis@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-24 months ago…but it is amid, not amin, no? Why do americans call it acetaminophen instead of acetamidophen?
minus-squareJusticeForPorygon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-24 months agoNope it’s amin according to Google. I actually thought I spelled it wrong at first. Weird.
minus-squareuis@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-24 months ago Nope it’s amin according to Google. That’s why I ask. Americans call it “acetaminophen”, but compound doesn’t have amino-group and instead had amido-group. IUPAC calls it as what it is: N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)acetamide Source EDIT: my guess is that america uses another nomenclature for organic chemistry. As usual. Do they have compound called “freedom eagle guns”?
minus-squareJusticeForPorygon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoIdk I’m not a chemist. I thought the whole point of scientific standards was that everyone used the same name/units but we don’t even spell meter right in the states.
