Does Marvin recognize chirlity in sulfoxides? I also have a problem with a chiral amine base: Troger's base. Marvin does not recognize that Troger's base can be chiral. I have attached a molfile of (+)-Troger's base.

Hi!





Marvin doesn't recognise the chirality of sulfoxides nor the chirality of amines.


As I see this is a special case with the Troger's base as in this case the enantiomers cannot interconvert through a low energy pathway.





We will treat this special case in a later Marvin version.





All the best

Hi,





Marvin 4.0.2 can assign chirality for chiral amines.


Please notify if you see some problem.
