Hi John,

That is what I suspected. I had some hope that there was still a way to 
properly convert stereochemistry in this version…
Anyways, thanks for your quick answer and explanations.

from MOL-File

Hi Sebastian,

That is a very old version and does not convert stereochemistry correctly.  
Essentially there wasn't data structures to represent it so it was store 
different for 0D (e.g. SMILES) vs 2D vs 3D. This will all fixed about 7 years 
ago :-). Latest release is 2.2 BTW - https://github.com/cdk/cdk/releases

Hi,

I could use your help! I am using CDK version 1.4.17 and want to build a SMILES 
string from a mol-file (SDF from lipid maps). The molecule has two isomers, but 
this information should be included in the mol-file, should it not?

Anyways, I pass the mol-file as ByteArrayInputStream into MDLV2000Reader and 
then create a new AtomContainer from this. Iterating over each atom of the 
AtomContainer, using a CDKAtomTypeMatcher to get the IAtomType of the atom 
which I then use to configure this atom with via 
AtomTypeManipulator.configure().

Finally adding implicit hydrogens to the AtomContainer, creating a 
SmilesGenerator and returning the smiles of the AtomContainer with 
smilesGenerator.createSMILES(AtomContainer).

However this produces a SMILES of the molecule which disregards the 
stereochemistry. The documentation states, that stereochemistry is taken into 
account 
(http://cdk.github.io/cdk/1.4/docs/api/org/openscience/cdk/smiles/SmilesGenerator.html).
 Am I missing something?

Would be great I someone could help! Added the link to lipid maps for the 
example: http://www.lipidmaps.org/data/LMSDRecord.php?LMID=LMGL02010378.


Best regards,
Sebastian Wehner
