Otis,
The SMILES goes back to the MySQL database for comparison rather than just 
running JavaScript within the browser.  The stuff in the database was all 
generated with JSME.  (So I’m confused about how adding Jmol to the mix will 
help.)  The “canonical” SMILES generated by JSME sure doesn’t look like the 
canonical SMILES provided in PubChem.  But maybe I’m actually getting SMARTS?  
I will go read the documentation you have pointed out.

Jennifer,

I knew this statement was out there. It took me a while to find the Web doc:

"public String JME.smiles()

returns a SMILES string of the current molecule(s) or reaction. For single 
molecule without stereochemistry the SMILES is unique, unification is not yet 
implemented for molecules with stereochemistry and for reactions.”
http://www.molinspiration.com/jme/doc/jme_functions.html

It’s an old doc, but I’m sure it still applies.

Since canonize is the default in JSME, you’re going to have to select 
nocanonize!

Also, your current option setting sets the “query” option. That sets up SMARTS 
mode. I don’t think that is what you want?

Although it’s commented out in your current HTML, it looks like you are set of 
for a simple string comparison. That’s not going to work. This is where Bob’s 
JSmol .find approach comes into play - my previous email.

I’ve been using a Jmol/JSME SMILES comparison for quite a while, so don’t 
hesitate to ask if you need more specific information.

Jennifer,

You have to set SMILES settings in the JSME options part of your JSME set-up to 
invoke stereochemistry and E/Z. This page explains all of the options and the 
set up procedure:

http://peter-ertl.com/jsme/JSME_2015-06-14/doc.html

BUT, BUT,  it looks like you are doing SMILES comparisons, and with 
stereochemistry and E/Z invoked, I’m pretty sure JSME SMILES are not unique. 
The best way to compare SMILES is with JSmol. In the case of your page, you 
could hide JSmol on the page. Comparison can be done in JavaScript:

function compSmiles(key, ans) {
key = key.replace(/\\/g, '\\\\');
ans = ans.replace(/\\/g, '\\\\');
return Jmol.evaluateVar(jmolApplet0. "'" + key + "'.find('SMILES','" + ans + 
"') > 0");
}

My quotes above are hard to read, so here’s the function with spaces to 
emphasis the quotes:

function compSmiles(key, ans) {
key = key.replace(/\\/g, ' \\\\ ');
ans = ans.replace(/\\/g, ' \\\\ ');
return Jmol.evaluateVar(jmolApplet0. " ' " + key + " '.find('SMILES',' " + ans 
+ " ') > 0");
}

The replace statements above are needed to place the SMILES \ notation into a 
JavaScript string - i.e. correct the fact that \ in a character escape in 
JavaScript.

I’m not sure if this listserv is the proper place for me to ask this question, 
but I’m not sure where else to ask.  I’m using the JSME embedded within 
Jmol/JSmol to let students practice reaction questions where they can draw 
products.  The ability to draw starting materials is currently in development.  
My problem is that JSME generates some quirky SMILES strings.  Cis and 
trans-3-hexene both generate [H]C(CC)=C([H])CC, so it’s not possible to 
distinguish the stereoisomers.  If I don’t draw in the stereochemistry 
explicitly, I get the canonical SMILES.  (If you’d like to see the page in 
development, feel free to check it out at 
http://chemserv.centre.edu/muzyka/reactionzoo/jsmol/jsme/JSMEreaction17.php)

The documentation for JSME says it generates canonical SMILES, but I haven’t 
seen any other SMILES that use the brackets with the H atoms.

If you guys can point me to an alternate location to ask this question, I’d 
appreciate it.
Thanks
