I had access to a chem drawing program that would give a name and CAS (if it existed) after you drew the structure. I can't remember which one it was. If you recognize the program please let me know what it is. Thanks.

I have one called "Chemsketch", the freeware version, if you draw a structure there is an internet search option which will give you the CAS# along with other pertinent information.

The are many good web based softwares for this. Royal society has published chemspider: http://www.chemspider.com/ and NCBI based database pubchem works in much the same way: http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
