Could anybody suggest a software could convert 3D structure file (.sd or .mol) to a 2D structure file for synthetic chemists reading?

William,
MolConverter can output both 2D structure files and 2D images in various formats and can do many other things. Please follow this link http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/doc/user/molconvert.html for more details.
MolConverter is in Java so you can run it on all Java enabled platforms.

MolConverter  is free if you don't build an application around it (or for academic users: http://www.chemaxon.hu/forum/ftopic193.html)

Example, for creating a 2D SDF:
$ molconvert sdf -2 input.sdf -o output.sdf

Example, for creating a 2D PNG image of 100x100 pixels:
$ molconvert png:w100 -2 input.mol -o output.png

To access MolConverter you need to download the Marvin Beans package (http://www.chemaxon.com/products.html#Marvin), which also includes a structure editor (MarvinSketch), 2D/3D structure viewers (MarvinView, MarvinSpace) and other stuff.

Best regards,
Ferenc



Thanks in advance,
William
