Read a protonation state off a keyAcetate’s InChIKey is QTBSBXVTEAMEQO-UHFFFAOYSA-M, acetic acid’s ends in -N. Give the final letter of the key for this InChI, and note that it is the only thing that changes.A stereo exercise. What you write is compared with what the InChI engine generates for the same structure, with 3 hints if you want them.Convert a structure to its InChI and InChIKey and back, convert a whole CSV, XLSX or SDF file, learn how the identifier is derived, and practise writing its layers. The InChI engine is WebAssembly running in your browser, so the tool needs JavaScript — and nothing you open ever leaves your machine.

Convert — a structure in, an InChI out

Batch — a whole CSV, XLSX or SDF file

Tutorial — how an InChI is derived

Exercises — write the layers yourself

Cheatsheet — every layer in a table

Tests — the IUPAC regression corpora

Download — take the engine away
