Abstract
The relationship between structure and reactivity of organic molecules is elaborated by studying the mechanisms of fundamental types of organic reactions. A basic synthesis repertoire is acquired.
Objective
Understanding the mechanisms of the fundamental types of organic reactions. Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between structure and reactivity. A basic repertoire for the synthesis of small organic molecules is acquired. Weekly problem solving lessons provide a deeper understanding of the concepts presented during the lecture.
Content
Basic reactions of organic chemistry and their mechanisms. Chemistry of the most important functional groups, the carbonyl group in particular. For details, see German version.
