convert chemical names to structures

I have two Qs:


1. how can I convert chemical names to structures in marvin sketch?


2. I have an access DB file which contains chemical name,ID,biological data. I want to add structures to the DB file(obviously like to convert names to structures automatically). I wonder if i can achieve this by using Instant Jchem?


Thanks!

Thanks for these questions.





1. We don't curretnly have a name to structure convertor, but one is under development (we do have one for structure to name)





2. If you exported the data from Access to a file (e.g. a comma or tab separated text file) then you could import into Instant JChem. But to generate structures you would need to use an external program.

Thanks Tim

This is a very old topic, but I thought it should be pointed out that there is now a name2strucutre convertor that can be used in Instant JChem.


This uses the IUPAC naming calculator plugin http://www.chemaxon.com/product/st2name.html


Note that this plugin requires a license. It can also generate names from structures.
