Course objectives
The Seminar in organic chemistry aims to exercise the topics introduced in the lecture on Organic chemistry on practical examples. This seminar aims to develop an understanding of the fundamental reaction types of organic chemistry, how these reactions are used in synthesis, their reaction mechanisms, and the nomenclature of organic compounds. Such training will facilitate preparation for the examination in Organic chemistry.
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 principles of stereochemistry.
