To get an idea of the differences between IUPAC and CAS nomenclature you can compare the names for the following structures. Note that for many compounds you cannot simply invert the name to get the CAS Index name.

For each compound you can see the inverted (Index type) IUPAC name (black) and CAS Index name (red).
