IUPAC Resource and Nomenclature
http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iupac/

This page, from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, contains information on standard nomenclature (naming) of all the various categories of chemicals. Look for tables of contents in the various categories to arrive at the recommended names for chemicals.

International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iubmb/

Information on naming of compounds that are of particular interest and use to biochemists and molecular biologists. Since the author of the page is not just listing names, but giving the text of scientific papers recommending these names, you will need to click on references to chemicals in various lists before you actually reach the recommended names.
