Study Guide@lith

Valid for year : 2008

NKEB04	Organic Chemistry 2 , 12 ECTS credits. /Organisk kemi 2/ For: BKM KeBi Kem
	Prel. scheduled hours: 158 Rec. self-study hours: 162
	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 Explain/account for the outcome of reactions Plan simple synthesis 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 1 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: Preparative Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry 2
	Organisation: The theoretical part consists mainly of lectures. The lessons include problem solving towards reaction mechanisms. The experimental part consists of organic reactions and synthesis correlated to the theoretical part of the course. Special laboratory facilities are needed.
	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 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
	Course literature: Solomons, G.;Fryhle, C., Organic Chemistry. Compendium and Lab.instructions from the department.
	Examination:
	Written examination Laboratory work with written tests	7,5 ECTS 4,5 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, hand in written reports and pass the written test
Course language is Swedish. Department offering the course: IFM. Director of Studies: Stefan Svensson Examiner: Gunilla Niklasson Course Syllabus in Swedish
