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 will be able to:
  • describe the fundamental theory of molecular structure, kinetics, mechanisms and stereochemistry.
  • design and plan strategy of organic synthesis describe theoretical and practical fundamentals in organic spectroscopy.
  • use experimental and practical skills in organic synthesis methodology, and identification and analysis of organic compounds.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Applicants are expected to have a bachelor's degree with a major in the field of Chemistry and the equivalent of last 15 ECTS in Organic Chemistry and 12 ECTS in Biochemistry

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.

Organisation:
The course includes lectures, seminars and laboratory work.

Course contents:
The course consists of fundamental theory of molecular structure, kinetics, mechanisms and stereochemistry. The fundamental classes of organic reactions. The course also includes the strategy of synthesis and synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals. The theoretical and practical aspects of UV-spectroscopy, IR-spectroscopy, NMR-spectroscopy and Masspectroscopy. The experimental work includes organic laboratory techniques, synthesis in several steps and analysis of organic compounds.
