A chemical compound that is actually another name for acetaminophen (Tylenol), made by combining an acetamide group with a phenol group.
From aceto- (acetic acid) + amido (containing an amino group) + phenol (a basic aromatic compound). This is a systematic chemical name reflecting the compound's actual molecular structure.
Acetaminophen is so common that most people know it by its brand name Tylenol, but its systematic chemical name 'acetoamidophenol' perfectly describes how its molecules are built—a reminder that everyday medicines are complex chemicals with precise structures.
