The aim of the course is to recuire by a student basic knowledge regarding selected classes of organic compounds with particular emphasis on their structure, methods of preparation, reactivity and reaction mechanisms. Furtermore, the goal is to show the relationship between a structure and physicochemical properties of the organic compounds.
The student must have basic knowledge on chemistry and physics.
Lecture:Terminology of organic compounds. Electron structure and spatial structure of organic compounds. Stereochemistry: chiral molecules, conformational and configurational isomers. Hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alicyclic, aromatic) and monofunctional organic compounds: halides, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, amines, nitro- and nitroso- compounds. Reaction mechanisms: nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution, addition, elimination including carbocations and free radicals. Carbohydrates – classification and properties. Amino acids. Lipdes. Relatinoship between chemical structure and biological activity.
Laboratory:Obtaining acetanilide and p-nitroaniline. Melting temperature measurment. Column and TLC chromatography. Distillation. Esters of acetic acid. Caffeine extraction. Obtaining aspirin. Detection of organic compounds.
- lectures: multimedia presentation
- laboratory exercises using basic laboratory equipment - practice

Lecture - final exam in written. The exam takes 90 minutes and involves 5 problems requiring discussion. In order to get credit for sufficient assessment, it is required to obtain 60 points (60%) out of 100 points possible.
Laboratory - Each student is obligated to prepare a report after each laboratory exercise. Furthermore, the sudents write one evaluation test. Final assessment is an arithmetic mean of partial assessments.
