Lecturer(s)
  • Kubec Roman, prof. Ing. Ph.D.
  • Štefanová Iveta, Mgr. Ph.D.
Course content
The experiments are intended to help students to learn basic laboratory techniques used in organic chemistry (glass-blowing, recrystallization, filtration, distillation, sublimation, extraction, column chromatography, TLC). The experiments cover the most important reactions in organic chemistry (addition, esterification, aldolisation, nucleophilic substitution etc).

Learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory
  • Preparation for classes - 6 hours per semester
  • Class attendance - 28 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Main goals of the course are to learn basic laboratory techniques used in organic chemistry and to deepen theoretical knowledge by conducting real experiments.
After successful passing the course, students are expected to be familiar with basic laboratory techniques used in organic chemistry (glass-blowing, recrystallization, filtration, destillation, sublimation, extraction, column chromatography, TLC, melting point determination etc.). The acquired knowledge may be employed in student education or in research/commercial laboratories.
Prerequisites
Conditional subject: KCH/OCH1B (Organic chemistry I)
KCH/OCH1B

Assessment methods and criteria
Analysis of student's work activities (technical works), Development of laboratory protocols

To successfully pass the course, the student has to: 1) attend all exercises and work up protocols, 2) pay for broken glassware and other caused damage.
