Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
- Understand the basic nomenclature used in organic chemistry
- Distinguish and characterize different types of isomerism and to apply these concepts in the context of chemical reactions
- Know the main basic mechanisms of organic chemistry (additions, substitutions, eliminations)
- Interpret the reaction mechanisms of the main functions and the parameters influencing them
- Understand the principles of spectroscopic methods and potential applications of these for bioengineers
- Apply the above concepts to solve simple problems of synthesis or retrosynthetic analysis
- Gain practical experience basis through the realization of the laboratory manipulations of Organic Chemistry
