Classes

The seminar will be held during the practical course "Organisch-chemisches Praktikum" and thus time management will be a challenge. Therefore, recordings from last term will be provided from the start so that they can be watched on-demand. I addition, two Q&A sessions will be held during the practical course, and 4 Q&A Sessions will be held after the practical work is finished for all students. Students can decide on the times and dates for the Q&A sessions.


Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

continous assessment of course work, accompanying proseminar to “Advanced laboratory course in Organic Chemistry”; mandatory course, Bachelor’s program in Chemistry

Aim: Broadening the participant’s knowledge on the mechanistic basics of organic chemistry. Held in parallel to the practical course “Advanced Laboratory Course in Organic Chemistry”. This proseminar’s aim is to deepen the participant’s knowledge in organic chemistry and its mechanistic backgrounds. Based on the content of the lecture “Organische Chemie I” the general reactions types (nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution, addition, elimination and rearrangements) are discussed. Different behavior of functional groups and substructures is discussed from the mechanistic point of view and examples are shown for the discussed reactions.

Assessment and permitted materials

3 mandatory MOODLE exams (40 points each): 27.10., 17.11. AND 9.12.between 9:00-10:30h

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimum criteria to register for the course: The lectures “Organische Chemie I” and “Chemisches Grundpraktikum II” as well as parallel registration for the “Advanced Laboratory Course in Organic Chemistry” are mandatory as well as attending the corresponding preliminary discussion in case of the first registration for both courses. It would be desirable to see the registered students in the preliminary discussion for the Advanced Laboratory Course in Organic Chemistry also if they this is not their first time in this course.
