Valid for year : 2008
 
TFKE06 Organic Chemistry 2 , 6 ECTS credits.
/Organisk kemi 2/

For:   KA   TB  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 72
Rec. self-study hours: 88

  Area of Education: Science

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

Aim:
The course intends to give the student a broader and deeper understanding of organic chemistry. After completion of the course the student shall have the following skills:
  • Explain the properties and reactivity of organic compounds related to structure
  • Account for reaction mechanisms
  • Basic knowledge of methods for transforming molecules
  • Explain/account for the outcome of reactions
  • Basic knowledge of spectroscopic techniques for structure determinations and interpretation of simple spectra and data
  • Use common laboratory techniques and methods for separation


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Attended General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry basic course and Biochemistry 1 or similar 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:
Biochemistry 2

Organisation:
The theoretical part consists mainly of lectures. The lessons include problem solving. The experimental part consists of organic reactions, methods for purification of compounds and chromatography.

Course contents:
  • 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
  • Reaction mechanisms, reactive intermediates, energy profiles and kinetics
  • Planning of synthesis and synthetic strategies
  • Organic spectroscopy, primary Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
  • Common natural products
  • Knowledge of safety risks are included
  • Organic synthesis, separation methods and chromatography are practiced


Course literature:
Solomons, G, and Fryhle, C., Organic Chemistry. Compendium and laboratory instructions from the department

Examination:
Written examination
Laboratory work with written tests
 4,5 ECTS
1,5 ECTS
 
The problems in the written examination tests how well the student has reached the learning goals. To pass the laboratory course the student must attend the laboratory classes and hand in written reports.


Course language is Swedish.
