You may not like this, but especially for a small  molecules that are
non-standard you have to check manually whether the toplogy makes sense.
This is your research and you have to be able to explain why you have
used such and such parameters. 

Having said that the first test is to do an energy minimization or a
short simulation of the molecule in water, see if maintains the right
structure and has hydrogen bonds etc.
