Program for manipulating molecules in 3d?
« on: February 14, 2009, 04:24:37 PM »
Is there a program out there that lets you draw wedge/dash line diagrams of molecules and then rotate them in 3-D?

I am trying to figure out the stereochemistry of a reaction involving the cyclization of an 18 membered ring and something like that would be very helpful.

The only thing that I know of is ChemDraw coupled with Chem3D.  You save your chemDraw files and then open them in Chem3D.

or you may start out with a 3D editor: Pymol, Arguslab, Avogadro
