Hi Greg,

Thanks for your quick response.
I look forward to more flexible version of the command.


For the second point, atoms 6 and 8 can be inverted by RDKit_2015_03_1.

RDKit_2015_03_1
---------------------------------
>>> mol=Chem.MolFromSmiles('C1[C@H]2[C@@H]3O[C@@H]3[C@@H]1[C@]13O[C@]21[C@@H]1C[C@H]3[C@@H]2O[C@@H]21')
>>> m=Chem.AddHs(mol)
>>> Chem.FindMolChiralCenters( copy(m), includeUnassigned=True )

[(1, 'S'), (2, 'S'), (4, 'R'), (5, 'R'), (6, 'S'), (8, 'S'), (9, 'R'),
(11, 'S'), (12, 'S'), (14, 'R')]

>>> AllChem.EmbedMolecule( m, randomSeed = 256, maxAttempts = 1, clearConfs = 
>>> False )

0

>>> Chem.MolToSmiles(Chem.RemoveHs(m), isomericSmiles=True)

'C1[C@H]2[C@@H]3O[C@@H]3[C@@H]1[C@]13O[C@]21[C@@H]1C[C@H]3[C@@H]2O[C@@H]21'

---------------------------------
This conformation is different from that of
'C1[C@H]2[C@@H]3O[C@@H]3[C@@H]1[C@@]13O[C@@]21[C@@H]1C[C@H]3[C@@H]2O[C@@H]21'
in previous mail.


It is strange at first glance that such atoms on the axis of symmetry
have chirality.


But RDKit judges atoms 6 and 8 as achiral in the following two isomers
with lower symmetry.

C1[C@@H]2[C@@H]3O[C@@H]3[C@H]1C13OC21[C@@H]1C[C@H]3[C@H]2O[C@H]21
C1[C@@H]2[C@H]3O[C@H]3[C@H]1C13OC21[C@@H]1C[C@H]3[C@@H]2O[C@@H]21


Rigards,
