Hours of instruction:

Weekly: four hours of lectures + two hours of labwork (4+0+2)

Goals:

The main goal of this course is to help students acquire the relevant knowledge of the synthesis reactions which are used in industry, particularly in the synthesis of drugs. The course also introduces them to the structure, application and synthesis of various classes of organic compounds, both simple and complex, which have practical applications and which are industrially produced.

Outcome:

Enabling students to successfully do their professional tasks upon the completion of their studies in education, industry and research work. Furthermore, this course provides the foundation necessary for postgraduate studies.

Teaching methods:

The lectures are held with the use of a video beam projector and a visualization program. The contents of the entire course and the supplementary material are available to students in an electronic form.
