Course objectives (competences):
The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the common structural features of organic compounds. The student will get to know the characteristics of organic compounds containing specific functional groups, such as alcohols, phenols, thiols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, acids, esters, amides, anhydrides, acyl halides, amines, etc. The student will learn how to name and draw the appropriate structures, as well as identify methods for their synthesis. The study will also examine the reactions in which organic compounds participate. Also, the development of the skills in the laboratory work of the student, performing syntheses, isolating and identifying certain organic substances will continue.
