According to this popular guide http://texblog.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/lists-enumerate-itemize-description-and-how-to-change-them/, I should be able to apply an option [(a)] to get small case alphabet numbering. As it is below, I cannot:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item {\bf \ce{CH3Br + KOH -> CH3OH + KBr}}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
Error message:
! LaTeX Error: Something's
wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX
Companion for explanation. Type H
<return> for immediate help. ...
l.22 \item {
\bf \ce{CH3Br + KOH -> CH3OH + KBr}} ?

This feature isn't part of 'standard' LaTeX, but is provided by the enumerate package.
You need to
\usepackage{enumerate}.
