Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
Learning Outcomes
The aim of this course is to develop the students' skills in the visualization of three-dimensional shape of organic molecules;identify symmetry elements and draw stereochemistry of molecules; understand the importance of asymmetric synthesis; learn the basic tools for synthesis of molecules of reasonable complexity with control of stereochemistry and methods for determination of reactions' enantioselectivity.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | Besides a strong focus on stereochemistry, the use of chiral pool, chiral auxiliaries and asymmetric catalysis (organometallic, organocatalysis and biocatalysis) of several important transformations in organic synthesis will be explored. |
Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes
Students will be graded based on the exam at the end of Period 3 and their performance in preparing a seminar in Period 4. To attend the exam, the students have to participate in more than 50% of the exercises classes in Period 3.
Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
