> “alleve” (2-(6-Methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)propanoic acid)

Chemical names aren't the best examples to use, as even within the scientific community, it's extremely rare to use full IUPAC systematic names for well-known organic molecules. The fancy name for caffeine would be 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, not 1,3,7-trimethyl-3,7-Dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione.
