Name

ACD/Name is a software solution designed to generate systematic chemical names from structures and convert names back into structures, adhering to IUPAC rules. It efficiently manages complex nomenclature challenges, including organic, biochemical, inorganic, organometallic, and polymer structures. The software supports the generation of names for a wide range of molecules, identifying tautomers and stereocenters automatically.

Key features include:

• Accurate and up-to-date implementation of IUPAC rules, with regular updates to incorporate new recommendations.
• Dynamic display of nomenclature rules applied to each structure, enhancing understanding of naming conventions.
• Capability to name steroids, natural parent compounds, and peptide sequences using one- or three-letter amino acid codes.
• Support for branched ring assemblies and assignment of stereodescriptors and atom numbering.

The software allows users to draw, import, or paste molecular structures in various formats, such as ChemDraw, MOL files, and SMILES. It can generate systematic names in multiple languages, including English, French, and German, with additional support for 19 other languages. The software also provides options for batch processing, enabling the naming of thousands of compounds in one session.

ACD/Name is available in different versions, including a Chemist Version for users who do not require advanced functionalities. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows operating systems and offers both perpetual and subscription licenses, with technical support and updates included.

For researchers needing to handle large compound libraries, ACD/Name Batch and ACD/Name to Structure Batch are available, offering extensive language options and the ability to process text files and databases in SD format.
