Lately I've been using http://www.drugbank.ca/ to identify some drugs my instructor didn't go over in his notes. One of the search methods allows me to indentify a drug just by drawing the structure in the Java Applet and converting to .mol. I wanted to know if there was any databases with this useful feature to identify chemicals in general.

I believe the Beilstein Crossfire program lets you search through their database by drawing the structures (or importing from ChemDraw).

Scifinder Scholar also has a search based on molecular structure. You can search either specific compound or part of a larger structure or reaction.

IS THERE ANY SITE THAT CAN GIVE ME FREE ACESS TO SCIFINDER I NEED  IT URGENTLY

Actually, there is another option, and I use it all the time to find possible candidates for internal standards and such.
The only down-side is Sigma-Aldrich has to have it in their inventory (which is nearly every chemical anyway).

If you go here

You can then draw out the structure, or part of it, and hit search. It will find chemicals that match that structure.

Funny in a way

Borek, obviously it isn't that pure. :p

To be 88.11 it should be below 1%, but they claim around 99%.

SciFinder is expensive.  Any free access would be through a University or Private company that you work for.  Any other access would be illegal.
