Can anyone help me figure out how to add a carboxyl group to a ring? I simply want the COOH to branch off of another carbon that is attached to a ring. Thank you!

Hi,


you should simply draw the structure with a carbon atom as a placeholder for the wanted carboxyl group, point to the placeholder atom and type COOH with the keyboard, Marvin will change the atom to a carboxyl group. There are lots of predefined abbreviations that Marvin knows, you should check the documentation about abbreviated groups and s-groups to find out more.
