Chemistry naming software?
« on: July 13, 2018, 09:46:54 AM »
I am looking for chemistry naming software, I know of Autonom but the links I find seems to be very old? I want something cheap or freeware if possible.

Is e.g. Accelrys still under development? Is this for known compounds?

Haha thats as good as its gonna get. Those programs aren't infallible, but a good chemist could take that name and get close enough. Oxa-azaspiro isn't a group you see every day :).
