Organisation:
Theoretical aspects are daily presented in lectures. Problem solving is studied during lessons. In the laboratory the students are trained in elementary organic chemical laboratory techniques in relation to the theoretical part of the course.
|
|
Course contents:
Nomenclature, structure and physical properties of most common substances representing different functional groups. Basic transformations, reaction mechanisms and stereochemistry are studied in synthetic and biological systems.
In the laboratory, synthetic procedures are performed in relation to basic reactions and principles of purification (crystallisation, distillation and extraction).
