Course objectives
The seminar is a logical extension of classes Organic chemistry I (C2021), Organic chemistry II (C3050) and Organic chemistry III (C4450). The main aim of the seminar is to practice the methodology of organic synthesis covered in the course C4450 using selected problem sets.
Learning outcomes
Upon passing the seminar, students wil be able to apply the organic transformations covered by the course C4450 in syntheses of selected moecules.
