Contents

The course discusses:

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.

Problem solving is emphasized throughout the course

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.
