Hi,

I could use your help! I am using CDK version 1.4.17 and want to build a SMILES 
string from a mol-file (SDF from lipid maps). The molecule has two isomers, but 
this information should be included in the mol-file, should it not?

Anyways, I pass the mol-file as ByteArrayInputStream into MDLV2000Reader and 
then create a new AtomContainer from this. Iterating over each atom of the 
AtomContainer, using a CDKAtomTypeMatcher to get the IAtomType of the atom 
which I then use to configure this atom with via 
AtomTypeManipulator.configure().

Finally adding implicit hydrogens to the AtomContainer, creating a 
SmilesGenerator and returning the smiles of the AtomContainer with 
smilesGenerator.createSMILES(AtomContainer).

However this produces a SMILES of the molecule which disregards the 
stereochemistry. The documentation states, that stereochemistry is taken into 
account 
(http://cdk.github.io/cdk/1.4/docs/api/org/openscience/cdk/smiles/SmilesGenerator.html).
 Am I missing something?

Would be great I someone could help! Added the link to lipid maps for the 
example: http://www.lipidmaps.org/data/LMSDRecord.php?LMID=LMGL02010378.


Best regards,
Sebastian Wehner
