TFKI79 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 TFKI 76, Physical Chemistry TFKI 77.

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.
