Hi Greg,

Thanks for the response (and sorry to be the bearer of bad news!).

Kind regards

Subject: Re: [Rdkit-discuss] Problem finding potential stereo-centres in 
bridged bicyclics involving 4-membered rings?

Hi James,

I don't think that's the same bug as #3490. I think it's something different; 
"yay".
;-)

It would be great if you could file a github issue for this.

Thanks,
-greg

Dear All,

I’ve got a strong suspicion that what I am seeing is related to the open issue 
3490 (https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit/issues/3490), but as I can’t seem to find 
a mention of a non-spiro problem then I thought I would share.
Tested in 2020.09.4 and 2021.03.2 with the same result.

smi_list = ['CC1CCC(CC1)C(N)=O', 'CC12CCC(CC1)(C2)C(N)=O', 'CC1CC(C1)C(N)=O', 
'CC12CC(C1)(CC2)C(N)=O']
for smi in smi_list:
    mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles(smi)
    display(show_mol(mol, size=(450, 200)))  # wrapper function for new drawing 
code in jupyter
    print(list(Chem.FindPotentialStereo(mol)))
    print(Chem.FindMolChiralCenters(mol, includeUnassigned=True, 
useLegacyImplementation=False))

The 4 cases are:

  *   Symmetrically-disubstituted 6-membered ring
  *   A bridged version (using a 1-atom bridge to avoid a completely 
symmetrical product)
  *   Symmetrically-disubstituted 4-membered ring
  *   A bridged version (this time using a 2-atom bridge to avoid symmetry)

And this is what I see:

[cid:image001.png@01D74CCD.B6F2A180]

In the case of the bridged 4-membered ring (or bridged 5-membererd ring, 
depending on your viewpoint!), FindPotentialStereo() fails to identify the two 
potential stereo atoms.
If anyone can spot if this is the same issue as 3490, or something different, 
then that would be appreciated!

Kind regards

James
