ACD/ChemSketch is a chemically intelligent drawing interface that allows you to draw almost any chemical structure including organics, organometallics, polymers, and Markush structures. Use it to produce professional looking structures and diagrams for reports and publications.
ACD/ChemSketch also allows you to check other tautomeric forms for your drawn structure. Consideration of tautomeric forms is very important for structure searching, predictions (such as physicochemical properties, i.e., pKa), and interpretation (i.e., of NMR, MS, and other analytical data).
