Description
During the (work)lectures, the basic principles of organic chemistry are discussed, including drawing molecules (counting valence electrons and applying the octet rule), hybridization, orbital theory (qualitative), recognizing reactions and drawing up mechanisms. The problemsets of the work-lectures aim to apply the most important theoretical principles and to deepen the reactions/mechanisms from the chapters covered.
Course Objectives
At the end of the course:
students know the names of functional groups of organic molecules;
students know the naming/structure of standard molecules and of some 30 basic concepts/principles from organic chemistry;
students can apply the organic chemical rules to recognize reactions and establish a mechanism;
students are able to use the periodic table to solve simple acid/base questions, as well as leaving group series and nucleophility;
students can recognize the electrophile/nucleophile and draw the mechanism of a reaction.
Timetable
You will find the timetables for all courses and degree programmes of Leiden University in the tool MyTimetable (login). Any teaching activities that you have successfully registered for in MyStudyMap will automatically be displayed in MyTimeTable. Any timetables that you add manually, will be saved and automatically displayed the next time you sign in.

Software
Starting from the 2024/2025 academic year, the Faculty of Science will use the software distribution platform Academic Software. Through this platform, you can access the software needed for specific courses in your studies. For some software, your laptop must meet certain system requirements, which will be specified with the software. It is important to install the software before the start of the course. More information about the laptop requirements can be found on the student website.
