ChemmineR (version 2.24.2)

sdf2smiles: SDFset to character Convert SDFset to SMILES (character)

Description

Accepts compounds in an SDFset container and returns the corresponding SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) strings as SMIset object. If ChemineOB is available then OpenBabel for the format conversion. Otherwise the compound is submitted to the ChemMine Tools web service for conversion with the Open Babel Open Source Chemistry Toolbox. If the input object contains multiple items, only the first is converted.

Usage
