What is the scientific name for riboflavin?

Ok, I'm going to punt on this because I hate trying to name cyclic compounds in terms of the IUPAC names:





Benzo[g]pteridine-2,4(3H,10H)-dione, 7,8-dimethyl-10-


(D-ribo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxypentyl)-;





D-Ribitol, 1-deoxy-1-(3,4-dihydro-7,8-dimethyl-


2,4-dioxobenzo[g]pteridin-10(2H)-yl)-;





6,7-Dimethyl-9-D-ribitylisoalloxazine;





Isoalloxazine, 7,8-dimethyl-10-


(D-ribo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxypentyl)-;





Isoalloxazine, 7,8-dimethyl-10-D-ribityl-;





7,8-Dimethyl-10-(1' d-ribityl)isoalloxazine;





7,8-Dimethyl-10-(d-ribo-2,3,4,5-


tetrahydroxypentyl)isoalloxazine;





7,8-Dimethyl-10-ribitylisoalloxazine;





1-Deoxy-1-(7,8-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-


3,4-dihydrobenzo[g]pteridin-


10(2H)-yl)pentitol





Of the above names, I'm betting the last one is the IUPAC name. Anyway, all of those, and the molecular structure, can be found here:

You're on your own for coming up with the SMILES string for B2. :-)

PL's right - "scientific" (I would used chemical) name is riboflavin and it's Vitamin B2. I've included a link for you if you'd like to learn more about it.
