ACD/Labs Nomenclature
Software
Relieve the tedium of systematic naming of chemical structures, and provide your organization
with a solution for consistent, accurate names.
ACD/Labs’ systematic naming products provide chemical and pharmaceutical companies, government research organizations, and
academic institutions with reliable naming software worldwide, with compliance to rules agreed upon by the International Union of Pure
and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS). We offer a variety of desktop and batch software options to suit
your needs. Whether you require naming for patent applications, publications, or submissions to a company registry, consistent and correct
names will add integrity to your science.
ACD/Name
ACD/Name is a full-capability package that
A variety of naming options are provided for both IUPAC and
provides nomenclature experts and advanced
index nomenclature to allow customization of naming according
users access to naming in accordance with
to an organization’s preferences. The name generation protocol

any relevant stereochemistry for organics, biological molecules,
with interactive references to the enclosed text of IUPAC
organometallics, and polymers, and with the click of a button you are
recommendations, to simplify the manual examination of names.
provided with the systematic names in English, French, and German.

Multilingual Add-On
ACD/Name Chemist Version
A multilingual add-on is available for ACD/Name, which supports
IUPAC naming in seven additional languages—Danish, Dutch, Italian,
Finnish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. The add-on takes into
account differences in spelling, grammar, and order of citation for
substituents amongst other language-specific variations.
An indispensible tool for the synthetic chemist, ACD/Name Chemist
Version provides reliable naming based on the most prevalent set of
nomenclature options suggested by IUPAC conventions, in a simple
interface. It includes the complete IUPAC functionality of ACD/Name
without advanced option settings, derivative rules reports, or hyperlinked
text of IUPAC recommendations.

Simply draw, or copy and paste your structure into the window, and
with the click of a button the systematic name is pasted directly into the
drawing interface.
Batch Calculators
For registry database administrators, libraries,
cheminformatics departments, and other individuals
who might need to name more than just a few
structures, we offer Batch nomenclature calculators.
ACD/Name Batch and ACD/Name to Structure Batch
allow minimal human intervention in the process of
name generation for libraries of hundreds or thousands
of compounds. One corresponding desktop installation
is provided with Batch products for manual examination
and review of results.
Need Name-to-Structure Functionality?
Integration
Integration of ACD/Name has been tested with
CambridgeSoft’s ChemDraw™, Symyx® ISIS, and
Synthematix Arthur™ Suite. We can provide the
required add-ins or extensions to fit our naming
capabilities seamlessly into your current workflow.
This is available in ACD/Name Chemist Version to help convert chemical
names found in the literature and patents into chemical structures.
ACD/ChemSketch, our drawing package, is included with all desktop products and provides additional
tools that may be of particular interest to users of Nomenclature software:
• ACD/Dictionary—contains over 165,000 trade, trivial, systematic, and non-systematic names to
simplify structure searches.
• Tautomer recognition software—use this tool to identify the major tautomeric form of your
compound or view other tautomers of your structure, and choose to name the appropriate form.
• InChI™ Protocol implementation—convert structures to InChI string and/or InChI key and vice versa.
ACD/Labs provides a number of products to
meet your chemical structure naming needs.
