Which program is used here? (wikipedia)
« on: December 13, 2007, 03:12:46 AM »
Hello

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Corey_oseltamivir_synthesis.png

Could anybody tell me the program used for drawing the chemical structures in the link?

Also, feel free to recommend a program for drawing chemical structures.

Thank you.

Probably ChemDraw.

You could use ChemSketch, which is free (although you have to sign up), but I don't know if you can use different colours. You probably can.

Which OS are you running?

ChemDraw is fairly common for Windows and Macs, but you can also download ISIS Draw (freeware for personal use) for Windows (possibly older version available for Mac, iirc). XDrawChem and ChemTool are what I'm currently evaluating for Linux use.
