Base on your decision about which source to choose based on whatever criteria you wish – is it a company based in the US (meaning it’s probably easier to get it shipped)? Is it the least expensive? Do they have it in stock, or will it be synthesized on demand?

Use of the Chemical Literature

Assignment

Part 1
Search for the first 10 compounds from Assignment 10 using SciFinder. Like last week, you can use whatever method you wish. Ideally find the source YOU would choose to purchase each compound from and take a screen grab of the Commercial Source Information for each. You can base your decision about which source to choose based on whatever criteria you wish – is it a company based in the US (meaning it’s probably easier to get it shipped)? Is it the least expensive? Do they have it in stock, or will it be synthesized on demand? Your choice.

As an important note, if the compound you’re searching for does not have any commercial sources, just take a screen grab that shows that there aren’t any commercial sources available (for example, there is no “Suppliers” link).

Part 2
Search for the same 10 compounds (from Part 1 of this assignment) using Google Shopping, It’s worth noting that, just like everything associated with Google, ads will try to guide you to
certain vendors, so don’t be afraid to scroll a bit! Compile all of your screen grabs in order and separated by labeled parts onto a single document.
