Course detail

Organic Chemistry II

FCH-BC_OCH2Acad. year: 2023/2024

The subject provides knowledge of basic organic chemistry from the point of view of the mechanism of organic reactions, basic physico-chemical properties of selected types of organic compounds, and the student will learn the basic pillars of organic chemistry and organic synthesis. The subject is divided into several chapters. 

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

6

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of the Organic Chemistry I.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Completing the tutorial of Organic Chemistry, which is accompanying the lectures, requires passing 4 written tests. Those who receive a average of 50% of points earn a credit automatically. Alternatively, students are obliged to pass another test at the end of term with gain at least 50%.
The examination consists from written test and oral examination. In the written part knowledge from Organic Chemistry II is tested, in oral exam then knowledge from the whole Organic chemistry.

Completing the tutorial of Organic chemistry requires the attendance and successfully passed all class exams.
The examination consists from written test and an oral examination.

Aims

The aim of the course is acquiring deeper knowledge of organic compounds reactivity. The course is connected with the previous course Organic Chemistry I, which represents necessary prerequisite for understanding the subject matter of this course. The aim of the course is understanding the structure and reactivity of various functional groups bound at various carbon skeletons, influence of the skeleton upon reactivity of the group and the opposite inluence of the group upon reactivity of skeleton.
Completing the course of Organic Chemistry II in connection with course Organic Chemistry I, students acquire the complex knowledge of structure, reactivity and stereochemistry of hydrocarbon derivatives and heterocyclic compounds. Student will be able on a basic level solved synthetic approaches and recognize relevance of organic reactions. The acquired knowledge allows a wide range of application, both in research and in the practice of organic chemistry, in control laboratories and in state administration authorities.

Syllabus

The course provides knowledge of basic organic chemistry in terms of mechanisms of organic reactions, basic physicochemical properties of selected types of organic compounds and the student learns the basic pillars of organic chemistry and organic synthesis. The course is divided into several chapters:

1. Halogenated derivatives of organic compounds, nucleophilic substitution on a saturated carbon atom, and elimination reactions.
2.-3. Alcohols, phenols, polyhydroxy compounds and their reactions.
4. Ethers, peroxides, epoxides. Thiols, sulphides, sulfonic acids and their derivatives.
5.-6. Amines, their diazotation, formation of arendiazonium salts and their uses. Diazocompounds. Azides. Nitro compounds.
7. Organometallic compounds and their reactions.
8.-10. Carbonyl compounds - aldehydes and ketones, nucleophilic addition to the C=O group, aldolysis reactions of aldehydes and ketones.
11.-13. Carboxylic acids and their functional derivatives: acyl halides, anhydrides, esters, amides.
