Course objectives
The course is a logical extension of introductory classes Organic Chemistry I (C2021) and Organic Chemistry II (C3050). The major goal is to provide the students with a comprehensive overview of modern synthetic methods routinely used in the organic chemistry laboratory and in industry, so that the students will be able to apply them in planning of effective preparations of organic compounds.
Learning outcomes
After passing the course, students will be able to design viable syntheses of organic molecules using traditional and modern methods of organic synthesis.

Teaching methods
theory plus design of viable organic syntheses
Assessment methods
In the course of the semester, students will pass 2-3 tests covering the corresponding topics. The final exam consists of a written and an oral part. Evaluation is focused on students' ability to design viable organic synthesis plus understanding of scope and limitations of used organic transformations.
