  • Functional groups in natural products and their reactions
  • Isolation and synthesis of natural products
  • Structure elucidation of natural products
Qualification-goals/Competencies:
  • After successful completion of the course, students have a fundamental knowledge of organic chemistry. They are confident using structural formulas of substance classes and functional groups presented in the course. They are confident in the nomenclature and can correctly describe relative and absolute configurations of molecules.
  • Students know the most important reactions, reaction types and reaction principles of organic chemistry. They understand the structural properties of functional groups and are able to formulate organic chemical reaction mechanisms of these groups.
  • Students acquire the principles of techniques in organic chemistry and are able to independently and self-actingly carry out simple organic reactions by following published protocols. They have a basic understanding of how to purify and analyze their reaction mixtures in order to correctly isolate and identify the desired products.
  • Students have a basic knowledge of NMR spectroscopy and understand which information can be extracted from basic one and two dimensional NMR spectra. They are able to interpret simple NMR spectra and to assign the signals to the functional groups of the molecules.
  • Students are capable to document and evaluate the conducted experiments using technical terms in a structured fashion. The have learned the principles of presentations and are capable of presenting chemical issues in a scientifically correct and understandable way.
  • Students can transfer and apply the acquired theoretical and practical skills to problems of other branches of chemistry and related sciences and are thus able to participate in continuative courses.
  • Natural products chemsitry (lecture and lab course): Students are enabled to isolate natural products and they obtain a deeper understanding of chemical reactions and substances, especially of reactions occuring in food or the preparation of food
