Abstract
Organic chemistry gives students information about the fundamentals of organic compounds structure, their reactions, and underling reaction mechanism. Organic chemistry is essential for many other disciplines, such as biochemistry, analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, physiology, pharmacology and other health and biological studies. Close attention is paid to the interrelation between organic chemistry and these disciplines.
Learning outcomes
Understanding of fundamentals of organic chemistry, understanding of structure and reactivity of organic compounds, knowledge of the basis of IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds and principals of stereochemistry.
