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
- Describe methods for transforming organic compounds
- Explain/account for the outcome of reactions
- Describe and 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)
General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry
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:
Organic Chemistry - Molecular Design
|
|
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
