TFKE15 Organic Chemistry, 6 ECTS-points
/Organisk kemi/

Advancement level:
B

Aim:
The course gives fundamentals of organic chemistry essential for studies in biochemistry and other fields of natural sciences.

Prerequisites:
Attended General Chemistry, TFKE03, Physical Chemistry TFKE08

Supplementary courses:
Biochemistry, TFKE25 and advanced courses in Organic Chemistry

Course organization:
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 theory.
