The naming of acyclic forms is described, and the first part of this is the rules for choosing which is the parent chain. This leads to naming the parent monosaccharide, including the naming of the C-substituent that forms the branch. Stereochemical conventions have to be extended to specify configuration: the two substituents at one carbon on the parent chain are put in order of priority; that of higher priority is considered to replace hydroxyl and that of lower priority to replace hydrogen in assigning a name to the parent monosaccharide. Equivalent groups and terminal substitution are dealt with separately. Cyclic forms are then described. Many examples are given.
文中描述了无环形式的命名方法，其第一部分是选择主链的规则。这进而引出了母体单糖的命名，包括对形成支链的碳取代基的命名。立体化学惯例必须加以扩展以指定构型：在母体链上一个碳原子处的两个取代基按优先级排序；在为母体单糖命名时，优先级较高的取代基被视为取代羟基，优先级较低的取代基被视为取代氢。等效基团和末端取代分别进行处理。然后描述了环状形式。文中给出了许多示例。
