Table 1 (Order of Preference) and Table 2 (No Preference)

The document presents two tables that outline different functional groups in order of decreasing priority: 1. Table 1 lists common functional groups from highest to lowest priority, including carboxylic acids, sulphonic acids, acid anhydrides, esters, acid halides, acid amides, cyanides, iso-cyanides, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, thioalcohols, amines, imines, alkenes, and alkynes. 2. Table 2 lists functional groups that do not have a priority order and are used only as prefixes, such as N-alkyl amino, N-alkyl/N,N-di alkyl amino, nitro, nitro
