Wrong stereochemistry in MarvinSketch

MarvinSketch 16.5.23.0 incorrectly determines stereochemistry in a few similar compounds in my company database. It assumes that absolute configuration at a tetrahedral carbon atom is S while in reality it is R - confirmed by several chemists.
I cannot share the molecules with you, but I'll answer any other questions.

Hello Anna,


I apologise for the late answer. Is there any chance that you can reproduce the error on similar, but not confidential molecules? Or could you send me directly the molecules by email. Without any test case it is really hard to see whether something went wrong.


Thanks,

Attached you will find a problematic structure - this time Marvin claims it's configuration R instead of S

Dear Anna,

First of all, thank you for the reported error, it highlighted a defect of the stereo representation.
Unfortunately the investigation took longer than we expected. We are still working on the amendment of the code. 


As soon as the fix is ready, could we ask you to test the fixed version on your molecule set? 



Best regards,

Of course - my company is postponing IJC update waiting for this fix to be released.

The issue has been solved, and version 17.2.27 contains the fix.
