Description
During the (work) lectures, the basic principles of organic chemistry are repeated and tested on the basis of assignments from the book. The work-lecture assignments also serve to apply the most important theoretical principles and to deepen the difficulty level of the reactions/mechanisms from the chapters covered, in order to stimulate the student's problem solving ability. These include the material from OC1 and orbital interactions, enolate chemistry, aromatic substitutions, Michael additions and cyclo-additions (retro synthetic analysis).
Course objectives
Learning how to think logical, that is, applying the organic-chemical rules to recognize reactions and to be able to draw up a mechanism. Making the lecture notes your own. Get enough organic-chemical content to successfully do the minor Modern Drug Discovery.
