Prerequisites

The discipline should do the integration of recently admitted students in the 2nd cycle. Should only be attended by students with gaps in their training base in Organic Chemistry

Subject matter

Review concepts of structural analysis.
• Reactivity of organic compounds. Reduction and Oxidation of Organic Compounds (mechanisms and chemoselectivity).
• Use of protecting groups
• Saturated Heterocycles: ring closing reactions

Teaching method

The subjects will be taught in the tutorial system

Evaluation method

Problem sets will be periodically provided to the students which does not exclude the evaluation by written or oral examination.
