I have a list of common names of sugars but I am having trouble converting them into smiles. It's for a cheminformatics based script. For example, 2',6'-Diamino-2',3',4',6'-tetradeoxy-a-D-glucose, ... It would also help if someone could suggest a tool to convert these names into smiles or sdf as well.
Adrian Vicente Barrueco and Shafi Mahmud ,Thank you so much for the answers. The major challenge however is the ability to convert these "common" names to the smiles format. I tried 2',6'-Diamino-2',3',4',6'-tetradeoxy-a-D-glucose or 2,6-Diamino-2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy-a-D-glucose but it yielded no results. Perhaps, it's not recognizing "a-D" notations? But if I remove them, I end up having linear compounds instead of the sugar blocks. Please see attached.
If you have a 3d structure, you can try to convert it with OpenBabel suite.
