Organic Chemistry
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course comprises a theory module (4.5 ECTS cr) and laboratory module (3 ECTS cr), which are assessed separately.
The Theory Module (4.5 ECTS cr) comprises:
- Application of chemical bonding theory for organic molecules
- Nomenclature of organic molecules and various forms of graphical descriptions of their structures
- Properties and the most important reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, alkyl halides, alcohols, esters, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids, carboxylic derivatives, and amines
- The use of substances of the groups above for synthetic purposes, illustrated by products and processes used in society
- Reaction mechanisms for a selection of addition, substitution, elimination, and rearrangement reactions in relation to the groups of substances above
The Laboratory Module (3 ECTS cr) comprises:
- Safety and hazard regulations
- Simple syntheses including the unit operations extraction, filtration, crystallisation, and destillation
- Thin layer chromatography and melting point determination
- Report writing and routines for laboratory notes
Attendance is mandatory for the scheduled laboratory sessions.
