For:   KA  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 58
Rec. self-study hours: 102

  Area of Education: Science

Subject area: Chemistry
  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
The course will give fundamental knowledge of organic chemistry. After completed course the student must be able to:
  • Identify different functional groups
  • Give name to organic compounds
  • Describe the structure and properties of organic molecules
  • Account for common reaction types and transformations
  • Describe basic reaction mechanisms
  • Perform elementary organic chemical laboratory technique


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Attended General Chemistry courses

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Supplementary courses:
Organic chemistry 2, Biochemistry 1
Organisation:
Theoretical aspects are daily presented in lectures. Problem solving is studied during lessons. In the laboratory the students are trained in organic chemical laboratory techniques related to the theoretical part of the course.
Course contents:
  • Nomenclature
  • Structure and physical properties of most common substances representing different functional groups
  • Basic reactions and transformations
  • Simple reaction mechanisms
  • Stereochemistry
  • Conversion of molecules synthetic or in biological systems
  • Common natural products
  • Handling of chemicals and safety risks
  • Synthetic procedures and principles of purification


Course literature:
McMurry, Simanek; Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry.
Compendium and laboratory manuals.

Examination:
Written examination
