Course content

Properties of organic compounds. Stereoisomerism. Resonance and inductive effect, structure and reactivity. The main drug classes and characteristic reactions, reaction mechanisms. Biomolecules; amino acids and proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids.

Learning outcome

The student can name organic compounds using IUPAC nomenclature rules. The student can identify and classify the most important functional groups of organic compounds. The student can describe and assign the configuration of chiral centers in molecules. The student can explain stereochemistry and resonance as well as describe and explain the physical properties of organic compounds. The student will be able to describe and explain mechanisms for basic organic-chemical reaction types. The student can explain and compare the structure and basic function of the biochemically important compounds carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids and relate the structures to functional groups of organic compounds. The student can reproduce research work in organic and biomolecular chemistry. The student can conduct simple organic-chemical and biochemical laboratory experiments. The student can plan and perform synthesis of simple organic molecules. The student can communicate and discuss results from laboratory experiments in simple reports. The student can use electronic tools to draw chemical and biomolecular structures and perform simple simulations and naming tasks.
