Course objectives
(a) knowledge understand and explain the basic relationships between the structure and reactivity of hydrocarbons and their derivatives; use information to solve independently the problems of hydrocarbon derivatization; b) Skills based on acquired knowledge to derive products of unknown reactions; to interpret the characteristics of groups of organic and selected bioorganic compounds. c) attitudes To gain general and professional insight and ability to apply acquired knowledge and skills in teaching practice
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, student should be able to: understand and be able to explains structure and reactivity basic relationships of organic compounds; use data to organic chemistry problem solutions independently; make reasoned decisions about organic compounds reactivity; formulate a reasoned differential diagnosis for products deduction of similar reactions; interpret characteristics of organic componud groups.
