Contents
The course discuss basic organic compound classes such as alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, alkyl halides, ethers, amines, aromatic compounds, and carbonyl compounds. Basic concepts, such as nomenclature, isomery, and physical properties, are discussed and used in the course part concerning reactivity. The mechanisms of important reactions, such as substitutions, additions, reductions, oxidations, eliminations, and rearrangements, are used to explain chemical reactions.

During the laboratory course part are given a deepened comprehension of organic reactivity, ability to follow simpler experimental descriptions under supervision in order to synthesize and analyze organic compounds, and ability to search and value information concerning risk aspects of organic compounds.

An important aspect is to be able to make clear drawing of organic molecules and orally and in writing present organic reactions. The importance of organic chemistry in the society and in the environment is emphasized all through the course.
