About the course
Aim
The course intends to give the student a broader and deeper understanding of organic chemistry. After completing the course, the student must:
- be able to describe and explain the properties and reactivity of organic compounds related to structure
- be able to account for reactions and methods for the synthesis of organic compounds
- be able to use organic chemical laboratory techniques and separation methods
- be able to summarize/analyze the results and write laboratory reports
Content
- Structure, chemical and physical properties of organic compounds
- Conformations and stereochemistry
- Chemical reactions such as substitution, elimination, addition, oxidation and reduction are treated in the aspect of functional groups
- Transformation of molecules in both synthetic and biological systems
- Reaction mechanisms, reactive intermediates, energy profiles and kinetics
- Planning of synthesis and synthetic strategies
- Organic spectroscopy, primary Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
- Carbohydrates and other natural products are studied along with biological applications
- Knowledge of safety risks are included
- Organic synthesis, separation methods and chromatography are practiced
