2. The objective of this exercise is to:
• assist you with exploring the chemical literature
• know where, how and why to use the SciFinder database
• learn how to create citations using ACS Style
• explore chemical naming conventions and reaction sequences, and,
• be better informed of Brock organic chemists’ research interests,
productivity and expertise.
