| Learning outcomes |
|
The aim of the course is to extend and amplify knowledge of organic chemistry from secondary schools aimed at natural products. The course forms a ground for biochemistry and follow-up courses. The lectures consist of three thematic segments: theoretical basics (ca 15 % of the extent), systematic part (ca 40 %) and natural products (ca 45 %). Within the individual systematic groups, an accent is put on effects of a functional group on physical and chemical properties of organic compounds and on biological effects.
Students gain knowledge enabling them to understand and anticipate physical properties, reactivity and main biological effects of both synthetic and natural organic compounds of their professional interest. At the same time, they gain basics necessary for learning of biochemistry and follow-up courses. |
