Course Discription |
:
The course is designed to focus on the most important substance classes in organic chemistry (e.g. alcohols, amines, alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and carboxylic acid derivatives) with respect to their structure and their chemical properties. Naming by means of rational chemical nomenclature (IUPAC), including some common names, is an important part of this course. The interplay between structure and function will be discussed for a greater understanding of chemical reactions and processes. Further, organic-chemical reactions (e.g. substitution, elimination, addition to the alkene and the alkyne, carbonyl group reactions, carboxylic acid derivatives reactions, oxidation, and reduction) are discussed together with the associated reaction mechanisms. |
