Aim:
The course will give fundamental knowledge of organic chemistry.
After completed course the student must be able to:
- Identify different functional groups in organic chemistry
- Give name to organic compounds
- Describe the structure and properties of organic molecules
- Account for common reaction types and transformations
- Describe some different basic reaction mechanisms
- Utilize elementary organic chemical laboratory technique
|

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
General 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 2, Biochemistry 1
|
|
Organisation:
Theoretical aspects are daily presented in lectures. Problem solving is studied during lessons. In the laboratory the students are trained in organic chemical laboratory techniques in relation to the theoretical part of the course.
Special laboratory facilities are needed.
