Short description:	Upon completion of this course, students should have a basic understanding of the structure, reactivity, methods of preparation, and biological activity of selected classes of organic compounds.
Full description:	The lecture covers: the structure, nomenclature, preparation and reactivity (with particular emphasis on reaction mechanisms) of selected organic compounds according to their functional groups: alkanes, alkenes, aromatic compounds, alkyl halides, alcohols, amines, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives. The topics discussed include: stereochemistry and stereoisomers, aromaticity, reaction mechanisms: free radical substitution, addition, electrophilic substitution, nucleophilic substitution, elimination, nucleophilic substitution to the carbonyl group.

Learning outcomes:	After completing the lecture series, students should have a basic understanding of the reactivity of organic compounds and understand the relationships between the structure and reactivity of organic molecules. In particular, graduates will know and understand: K_W08 advanced knowledge of organic chemistry and biochemistry: nomenclature, structure of organic compounds, chemical reactions, reaction mechanisms, methods of obtaining, occurrence and application of organic compounds. They understand the importance of chemical phenomena in processes occurring in living nature. K_W01 basic knowledge in selected areas of biotechnology and understands the relationships and dependencies between different natural science disciplines. Graduates are able to K_U08 analyse problems in the field of organic chemistry, including investigating the mechanisms of organic reactions. They are able to plan simple syntheses of selected organic compounds.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	A written exam or, in the case of absence, a make-up exam. The exam is open-ended. Passing the course requires a score above 60%. The course can be completed with two partial tests, with a total score above 60%. Two absences are permitted. Total student workload: -class participation: 30 hours -class preparation: 20 hours -consultations with lecturers: 10 hours
Internships:	Does not concern
