2nd
(20% maximum)
Understand the general principles of organic chemistry, the basis of stereochemistry, organic analysis (spectroscopy),
key reaction mechanisms, as well as basic nucleophilic and electrophilic reactions.
Prerequisition: General chemistry with stoichiometry
Application of basic knowledge of organic chemistry for analyzing the properties of drugs based on the structure of
active ingredients and also for prediction an interaction with active site, based on the functionality of the compound
as well as for designing the synthesis of new biological active compounds.
After competition the course, the student will be competent to:
1. Describe the bonds in organic molecules, classify the organic compounds and name them;
2. Recognize the sterochemical features of a given molecule and analyse the impact of the stereochemistry to
reactivity;
3. Estimate the acidity/basicity of organic molecules and describe the electronic effects that determine them;
4. Identify simple molecules by analysing the corresponding NMR and IR spectra;
5. Predict the products of simple nucleophilic addition and substitution on the carbonyl group, nucleophilic
