Prerequisites
General Chemistry and Organic ChemistryIntended learning outcomes
The course intends to give the student a broader and deeper understanding of organic chemistry. After completion of the course the student shall have the following skills:
- Explain the properties and reactivity of organic compounds related to structure
- Account for reaction mechanisms
- Describe methods for transforming organic compounds
- Explain/account for the outcome of reactions
- Describe and plan simple synthesis
- Basic knowledge of spectroscopic techniques for structure determinations and interpretation of simple spectra and data
- Use common laboratory techniques and methods for separation
Course content
- Structure, chemical and physical properties of organic compounds
- Conformations and stereochemistry
- Chemical reactions such as substitution, elimination, addition, oxidation and reduction are treated in the aspect of functional groups
- Transformation of molecules in both synthetic and biological systems
- Reaction mechanisms, reactive intermediates, energy profiles and kinetics
- Planning of synthesis and synthetic strategies
- Organic spectroscopy, primary Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
- Carbohydrates and other natural products are studied along with biological applications
- Knowledge of safety risks are included
- Organic synthesis, separation methods and chromatography are practiced
Teaching and working methods
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 theoretical part of the course. Special laboratory facilities are needed.
Examination
| TEN1 | Written examination | 7.5 credits | U, 3, 4, 5 |
| LAB1 | Laboratory work | 4.5 credits | U, G |
The problems in the written examination tests how well the student has reached the learning goals. To pass the laboratory course the student must attend the laboratory classes, hand in written reports and pass the written test
