ACD/Dictionary

Save Time and Avoid Mistakes Drawing Structures
Why draw a recognized molecule manually when you can just copy it from a Dictionary?. The ACD/Dictionary offers a short look-up path to a verified and pre-drawn target molecules through an index of 150,000 common and systematic names supplemented by CAS number."

Can you draw the structure of Taxol in 4 seconds?
With ACD/Dictionary you can!

At the same time find out its 24 other names, including the one based on IUPAC recommendations, and its CAS number. You will also discover that international nomenclature organizations, such as BAN, INN and USAN, would refer to this structure as Paclitaxel.

One chemical structure, but how many synonyms or trade names exist to describe it?
ACD/Dictionary can answer that question in a heartbeat.

Draw or import your structure, and obtain an answer. You can even define the configuration of stereocentres and double bonds, if necessary, to make your search more specific.

ACD/Dictionary is a software module of ACD/ChemSketch that finds chemical structures according to their chemical, systematic, or alternative (trivial) name. The chemical name can also be a common abbreviation, a trademark, or a drug code number. Popular among educators and organic chemists, this useful module helps ensure correct chemical communication and substantially speeds up drawing of complex structures.
