ACD/Name
When compared with other naming software…the quality of names generated from ACD/Name is second-to-none.
G. Eller, Molecules, 11:915–928, 2006
I find the ACD/ChemSketch software to be very intuitive. I was able to start using it as soon as it booted up without looking at any user manuals or instructions. Furthermore, it appears to seamlessly integrate with other Microsoft Office programs, such as Word. The automatic update feature for Word is efficient when making changes to structures imported into a Word document.

We use ChemSketch to draw structures to add detail to our publications and grant applications. For example, we can now show fine structural differences in glycosaminoglycan sulfation that affect molecular function, and the ability to illustrate these differences really adds to a grant application.
Professor Jane Grande-Allen, Assistant Professor of Bioengineering, Rice University
We are satisfied with ACD/ChemSketch as it perfectly fits our enterprise environment, it is manageable, and provides an excellent chemical drawing suite for our users.

Generate chemical nomenclature from structure.
ACD/Name generates chemical names according to IUPAC and CAS Index rules, converts names back to structures, and can
easily handle challenging areas of nomenclature, such as biological molecules, organometallics, and polymers. Derivative
rule reports and links back to the relevant nomenclature recommendations permit a greater insight and understanding of the
nomenclature process and the name generated.
Features
- Generate nomenclature from IUPAC and CAS Index rules, from chemical structures
- Generate chemical structures from systematic names
- Generate InChI and SMILES strings
- Obtain Derivative Rules Reports and view IUPAC recommendations for each name
- Generate single names or batches for libraries
- Generate names in English, French, and German
Full List of Features
Benefits
- Reliable and accurate to ensure high quality names for publications, presentations, and patenting
- Quickly generate names for a single compound in a matter of seconds
- Gain a deeper understanding into how nomenclature is derived for your compounds
