Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
KE501 Fundamental Chemistry and BMB501 Biomolecular Chemistry must be passed, KE502 Chemistry of the Elements and Physical Chemistry A must be attended simultaneously at the latest, and KE504 Analytical spectroscopy is recommended.

Course introduction
The aim of the course is to go through the organic chemistry in detail and systematically. Thus, the objective of the course is to provide the students with fundamental knowledge that forms the basis of advanced chemistry courses and completion of a bachelor project within organic chemistry.

Qualifications
The students will receive a detailed treatment of organic chemistry and an introduction to practical organic synthesis and should be able to:

• survey structures of complicated organic molecules, i.e. to know the functional groups and stereochemical properties
• suggest reasonable syntheses with 2-5 synthetic steps and be able to survey the possibility of the formation of by-products
• write down the mechanisms and the stereochemical consequences of the various reactions
• understand and work up a modern scientific paper on organic chemistry and be able to recognize many of the reactions that took place and the arguments of stereochemical and mechanistic character that are presented
• carry out selected operations in an organic synthetic laboratory
• prepare selected organic compounds, corresponding to the level in "Organic Syntheses"
