ACD/Name
Full list of Features
Structure to Name
- Generate accurate systematic names according to IUPAC recommendations and CAS Index rules
- Generate chemically accurate structures from chemical names with the Name-to-Structure module
- Assign stereodescriptors and numbering to atoms, and review stereo protocol that displays a "hierarchical graph" created for each atom with a stereodescriptor
- Review the full text of basic IUPAC nomenclature recommendations with examples
- Dynamically display the nomenclature rules used to name the particular structure, for easy manual examination
- Set up nomenclature preferences and language (IUPAC naming only)
- Draw the molecular structure or set of structures for naming using ACD/ChemSketch
- Create InChI identifiers, generate structures from InChI labels, and interpret SMILES strings
- Import up to 99 structures from SDfiles and automatically name them
- Export structures and names as SDfiles
Name to Structure
-
Generate chemical structures from the following name types:
- Systematic names of most classes of general organic compounds
- Derivatives of more than 180 basic natural product parent structures
- Semi-systematic and trivial names of common organic compounds
- Systematic names of some coordination compounds and polymers
- Incorrect names that do not strictly follow Organic Nomenclature rules
- Report warnings about ambiguous names or generates several possible structures
- Accept chemical names both in uninverted and inverted forms (Index names), in formatted and unformatted text
- Designate stereo configuration of chiral centers and double bonds
- Assign numbers to atoms in the structure
Disclaimer: Index naming algorithms have been developed by ACD/Labs alone and CAS makes no
warranty or guarantee about its effectiveness or accuracy. If you require chemical substance names for reporting to
regulatory agencies, they should be manually checked or obtained directly from CAS.
