5 months ago OPSIN does have a similar mechanism to this for handling structures like imidazoline which would out of the box support triple bonds. What it doesn't expect is the second locant e.g. it's 2-imidazoline, not 2,3-imidazoline
Today's C&N news describes synthesis of arenes (aromatic) rings containing triple bonds. The interesting nomenclature they use is 2,3-indolyne, where there is a triple bond between locants 2 and 3 on indole. The more correct/common name would be 2,3-didehydroindole which is understood by OPSIN, but I was thinking that 2,3--yne is not an unreasonable trivial (unambiguous) alternative. I just thought that I'd mention it (it might only be a one or two line tweak to OPSIN).
