Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module provides basic knowledge in the field of organic chemistry. Explains the classification of organic compounds due to the presence of functional groups. Discuss the relationship between the structure of organic compounds and their physical and chemical properties. He familiarizes with the reactions typical for individual classes and the basic mechanisms of their course. Familiarizes the student with the structure and some reactions of selected organic compounds naturally occurring in nature. The student learns the basic techniques of working in the organic chemistry laboratory and applies them in practice during the synthesis of simple organic preparations. He learns the basics of qualitative analysis of organic compounds. Learns to document conducted experiments.
