Dear all,
For the molecule
CC(O)N1CC(O)C1
atoms 2 and 6 are considered as chiral by openbabel, but actually only atom
2 is chiral (using obchiral program or IsChiral()).
If atom 2 is not chiral, like in
CC(C)N1CC(O)C1
openbabel finds no chirality.
Is that something already known?
Best regards,
My two cents:
OpenBabel implements Razinger's algorithm (J. Chem. In& Comput. Sci. 1993,
33, 812-825) in determining so-called true and para stereocenters.
"Atom 2" is an example of the former. "Atom 6" is an example of the latter.
Razinger's rules are quite elaborate but in short: the reason
