OBS: The prefixes ""ortho-"", ""meta-"" and ""para-"", along with their corresponding abbreviations (""o-"", ""m-"" and ""p-""), appear in italics and are ignored in alphabetizing. According to the actual chemical nomenclature rules in organic chemistry (in 2003), the numbers designating the positions of the disubstitution groups (1,2- for ""ortho-"", 1,3- for ""meta-"" and 1,4- for ""para-"") are to be preferred to the symbols ""o-"", ""m-"" and ""p-"". Furthermore, the prefixes ""ortho-"", ""meta-"" and ""para-"" should not be used anymore, and their corresponding abbreviations (""o-"", ""m-"", and ""p-"") will soon be judged to be avoided, if not totally condemned.
OBS: Chemical formula: C[subscript 10]H[subscript 18]O
