About Study Course

Objective

Learn basic course of organic chemistry for further understanding of biochemistry, medical chemistry and pharmaceutical science.

Preliminary Knowledge

Knowledge of organic chemistry within the programme of secondary school, inorganic chemistry.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.On successful course completion students will: • identify functional groups of organic compounds and explain their properties and possibilities of mutual conversions; • interpret relations of special structures of molecules with their properties; • identify structures of heterocyclic compounds and their properties; • interpret reactions of organic compounds on the bases of the main principles of reaction mechanisms.

Skills

1.On successful course completion students will: • recognize functional groups in drug molecules, name them, know the chemical properties and identification reactions of the group; • select and apply correct methods for isolation and purification of organic compounds; • evaluate chemical structures of drug substances in connection with their pharmacological actions.

Competences

1.On successful course completion students will choose and interpret chemical and physical methods of identification and functional analysis of organic compounds.

4.

semester counting

0.00% from total grade
Test

To receive a semester count, you must successfully pass the semester jobs (laboratory work completed, protocols credited, colloquiums successfully passed).

5.

cumulative score

0.00% from total grade
10 points

The student may not take the examination (i.e. there is a possibility to qualify for the accumulating assessment or “automatic examination”) if all colloquiums have been passed for at least 8.00 with the first time and the other course requirements have been fulfilled.

PLUS bonuses at the final score (throughout the course):

1. Minutes of a maximum of 0,5 points have been submitted and drawn up in accordance with the regulations during the spring semester;

2. In the autumn semester, the identification of an unknown organic matter shall be maximum 0,5 points.
