ACD/Name
Generate Structure from Name (ACD/Name to Structure)
What's New
- Bridged fused systems
- Natural products with skeleton modifications
- Carbohydrates and derivatives
- Structures with trivial names and derivatives
New Features in Illustrated Detail
1. Bridged fused systems
The newest version of ACD/Name to Structure can generate structures for bridged fused systems. In previous versions, it refused to name all such structures.
9,10-dihydro-9,10-[1,2]benzenoanthracene
6,17-epoxy-10,13-pentanonaphtho[2,3-c][1]benzazocine
2. Natural products with skeleton modifications
Previously, only names of functional derivatives and stereoisomers of parent natural products could be converted. The newest version of ACD/Name to Structure can now generate structures for names of natural products with nor, homo, seco, retro and apo skeleton modifications.
For example:
2,3-Seco-14a-homo-5α-pregnane
14'-Apo- -carotene
3. Carbohydrates and derivatives
Now, various names of parent carbohydrates and their derivatives can be converted into structures.
For example, the name of the eight-carbon carbohydrate with anhydro and deoxy modifications is converted into the following structure:
methyl 4,7-anhydro-2-benzyl-2,3-dideoxy-L-glycero-α-L-talo-octopyranuronate
4. Structures with trivial names and derivatives
It's obvious that to convert trivial or semi-trivial names (common names, trademarks and other), ACD/Name to Structure needs a database with such names and structures. ACD/Name to Structure uses the ACD/Dictionary DAT file as a source of names and structures. ACD/Dictionary 5.0 now contains more than 80,000 names, abbreviations and registry numbers. Moreover, some derivatives of non-systematic names can also be converted.
For example, the following derivative of the trivial name taraxasterin can be converted:
Taraxasterin 2-methylbutyrate
