ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 2.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

This lecture is mainly addressed to undergraduates at the beginning of their research careers. The aim is to introduce students to some of reactions used in organic synthesis. Students will acquire knowledge encompassing reactivity, synthesis and biological activity of chosen classes of organic compounds.

Full description:

Alkanes; free-radical substitution; stereochemistry and stereoisomers; alkenes – structure, preparation and reactivity, aromacity; electrophilic substitution; alkyl halides; nucleophilic substitution; alcohols – preparation and reactivity; ethers; carboxylic acids; aldehydes and ketones; amines – preparation and physical properties.
