Features of Name

Chemical Structure to Name

Draw, copy/paste, or import molecular structures in various formats (including ChemDraw, MOL files, and SMILES)
See the full list of supported data formats
Generate accurate systematic names according to IUPAC recommendations
Produce Index names in accordance with CAS nomenclature rules*
Generate names for organic, biochemical, inorganic, and organometallic structures, including:
- Various functional groups, including acids, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, peroxides, salts, and more
- Mono- and polycyclic systems
- Homogeneous and heterogeneous chains
- Natural product structures (steroids, alkaloids, terpenes, and carotenes)
- Carbohydrates (in Haworth and other representations)
- Amino acids, peptides, and derivatives
- Radicals and charged structures
- Some polymers
Assign stereodescriptors (R/S, E/Z, M/P, r/s, seqCis/seqTrans, α/β, and cis/trans)
Assign numbering to atoms
Display a “hierarchical graph” for each stereocenter
Dynamically display the nomenclature rules used to name your structure
Import multiple structures from SD files and automatically generate their names
Export structures and names as SD files

* Index naming algorithms have been developed by ACD/Labs alone and CAS makes no warranty or guarantee about its effectiveness or accuracy. If you require chemical substance names for reporting to regulatory agencies, they should be manually checked or obtained directly from CAS.

Chemical Name to Structure

Generate accurate structures from chemical names, including:
- Systematic, semisystematic and trivial names of organic compounds
- Natural product structures and derivatives
- Amino acids and peptides; including three-letter codes for peptides
- Complex molecules such as carbohydrates and polysaccharides
- Functional groups, including acids and derivatives, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, ethers, and more
- Incorrect names that do not strictly follow Organic Nomenclature rules
Generate structure from many names and identifiers, including:
- InChI and SMILES notations
- CAS Registry and EU numbers
- Trade and registered names (INN, USAN, BAN, JAN)
Designate the stereoconfiguration of chiral centers and double bonds
Generate structure derivatives using trivial and semi-trivial names from Dictionary
Ambiguous names produce a warning, or generate several possible structures for review

Naming Supported in 22 Languages

Generate systematic names in English, French and German
IUPAC naming is supported in 19 additional languages—Bulgarian, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish**
- Differences in spelling, grammar, and order of citation for substituents are taken into account for these language variations
Set your nomenclature and language preferences

** The development of naming in specific languages is ongoing and, in some instances, the generated name may deviate from local language recommendations. We recommend consulting nomenclature recommendations for your language to ensure accuracy.

What Our Customers Say About Name

Compatible with Your Experimentation and Analysis Hardware

See All Supported Formats & Integrations

What is Name?

What types of chemical nomenclature does Name support?

Does Name follow the IUPAC Blue Book?

Can Name software convert chemical names back into structures?

Can Name generate IUPAC names from SMILES, InChI, and MOL files?

Yes. Name can generate systematic IUPAC names from imported SMILES, InChI, and MOL files. Users can draw, copy and paste, or import structures in a variety of formats, and then generate accurate IUPAC names according to current IUPAC recommendations. The software also supports batch processing through SD files for automated naming of multiple structures.

How does Name handle stereochemistry when generating IUPAC names?
