This button of the molecule ribbon will generate the IUPAC name from a given molecular structure. Please bear in mind that a separate license will be needed for this plugin.
Some molecules have trivial names, like "1,3-dimethylbenzene" instead of "m-xylene". Follow the menu 'File/Preferences/Molecule/IUPAC NAME' and check the 'Generate Systematic Name'. When the box is unchecked, Mnova generates trivial names when it is possible.
If you are interested in getting IUPAC numbering, check the applicable box for that and generate the IUPAC name of your molecular structure. You will also find a button in the ribbon to display the IUPAC numbers, after having generated the IUPAC Name:
When the "Use Natural Products Names' or/and 'Amino Acids, Peptides' boxes are checked, Mnova will generate IUPAC names for alkaloids, steroids, terpenes, amino acids, peptides, etc
The "Nested Enclosing Marks" includes three options to choose the types of enclosing marks to generate the IUPAC name of a molecule. By default is selected the first option, which is the preferable in Preferred IUPAC Name indicated in the Blue Book 2013.
