Contents

The course comprises fundamental organic reactions analyzed on an advanced level with emphasis on chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselectivity. Structure and reactivity for organic compounds are analyzed in terms of sterochemistry and chemical bond theory. The outcome of chemical reactions is discussed outgoing from a mechanistic perspective, which often includes analysis in orbital terms. Synthetic routes for the preparation of simple organic structures are designed outgoing from basic organic reactions and fundamental principles of reactivity and selectivity.

The ability to present organic reactions orally to other students is empasized throughout the course.
