Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Graded course credit - Final classification is based on average classification of individual tasks. Grades: A: 100 to 81 points, B: 80-71 points, C: 70-61 points, D: 60-59 points, E: 50 to 41 points, F: 40 points or less
Attendance at the lectures is not compulsory, but due to the specific nature of the course it is recommended.

Aims

The aim is to build on the basic knowledge of the subjects Organic chemistry I and II and to focus more closely on selected chapters. Based on the already acquired knowledge from the previous chapters of Organic Chemistry, the problems of this subject will be focused on deepening the students' knowledge and abilities related to C-C binding, protection of functional groups, selective reactivity of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds.
By passing this subject the student acquires comprehensive knowledge enriched with selected chapters of Organic Chemistry. They are acquainted with C-C binding formation, selective reactivity of aromatic and heteoroatomic compounds, and acquire complex knowledge about protecting functional groups. This knowledge enables a wide range of applications in both the academic and industrial spheres.
