TFKE15 Organic Chemistry, 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:
General Chemistry, TFKE01, Physical Chemistry TFKE05 and Inorganic Chemistry TFKE10

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

Course organization:
The course is given over two periods. 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.

Course content:
Chemical bonds, functional groups, nomenclature and stereochemistry. Chemical reactions such as substitution elimination, addition, oxidation and reduction. The study of these reactions include reaction mechanisms, reactive intermediates, energy profiles and kinetics.

Course literature:
Solomons, G.T.W Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry. Lab.instructions from the department.

TEN1A written examination of the whole course. 3p
LAB1A laboratory course. 1p
Course language is Swedish.
