Course aims

The aim of this course is the disquisition of theoretical branches of study in organic chemistry.

Brief description of the course

Chemical bonds and molecular structure. Electron effects: induction, conjugation and resonance. Mesomeric structures. Aromaticity. Hetero-aromatic compounds. Electrophilic substitution reactions of aromatic compounds, rules of orientation. Stereochemistry. Configuration and conformation. Optical Activity. Chirality. Acid-based characteristics of organic compounds. Redox reactions in organic chemistry. Element- and metallo-organic compounds. a-Substitution and condensation. Reactions of carbonyl compounds. Nucleophilic substitution. Reactions of carboxylic acid derivatives. Bifunctional carboxylic acids (hydroxy-, oxy- and amino acids). High molecular organic compounds (polymers). Biopolymers.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- has basic knowledge of the classes of substances, reactivity and mechanisms of organic compounds, is able to solve problems on reactivity;
- can independently read and basically understand modern scientific literature on organic chemistry;
- has connections between organic chemistry and bioorganic chemistry;
- is able to use knowledge of organic chemistry in various disciplines related to the field;
- consciously uses applications of artificial intelligence in organic chemistry in understanding structures and theoretically analyzing their properties.
