  …but it is amid, not amin, no? Why do you call it acetaminophen instead of acetamidophen?

      Nope it’s amin according to Google.

      That’s what I ask. The name is “acetaminophen”, but compound doesn’t have amino-group and instead had amido-group.

      IUPAC calls it as what it is: N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)acetamide

        Idk 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.
