Aim:
The course gives principles in organic chemistry such as the connection between structure and reactivity of molecules. After passing the course the student is expected to have gained the following competences in:
  • fundamental theory of molecular structure, kinetics, mechanisms and stereochemistry.
  • design and strategy of organic synthesis
  • theoretical and practical fundamentals in organic spectroscopy.
  • experimental and practical skill in organic synthesis methodology, and identification and analysis of organic compounds.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Courses corresponding to passed NKEA26 General Chemistry and attended NKEB22 Organic Chemistry 2

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:
NKEC63 Physical-Organic Chemistry NKED73 Organic Synthesis

Organisation:
