The stem for six-membered rings depends on the least preferred heteroatom in the ring, i.e., the heteroatom whose name directly precedes the stem. To determine the proper stem for a six-membered
ring, select the set below that contains the least preferred heteroatom before consulting the table. For example, the proper stem for the dioxazine ring is found after set 6B, which contains the
element nitrogen.
6A: O, S, Se, Te, Bi, Hg
6B: N, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb
6C: B, F, Cl, Br, I, P, As, Sb
