*** CORONA UPDATE *** (13.3.):
Due to the current situation, no courses with physical presence can be held until Friday, April 3, 2020, thus, we will provide documents online. Please use this material to independently develop the lecture content relevant to the examination (see Moodle link VVZ: Termine, Inhalte, Methoden, Ziele, Leistungskontrolle).

After reopening of the lecture halls, we will try to discuss any questions that may arise regarding the documents made available on Moodle as part of a presence unit. We ask you to post questions in advance in the forum for students. After we expect a lot of traffic here, we ask you to formulate your questions clearly and unambiguously. Please read the questions of your colleagues regularly to avoid repetitions and please try to answer questions among yourselves. It is currently planned to set up this presence unit as part of the planned course of lectures (dates from April 20th). It is currently not planned to reschedule the first exam date of May 11, 2020.

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Objectives
Part I:
Based on their knowledge already acquired in General and Inorganic Chemistry, the students will recognize the field of Organic Chemistry as area of carbon compounds. They will understand the correlation of functional groups and properties of substances, know about different forms of isomerism, be able to draw molecules using different forms of projection, get acquainted with important reactions in Organic Chemistry and be proficient in the most important reaction mechanisms.

Part II:
The students will be able to
classify natural products that are important for human nutrition and to discuss their mechanisms of action
understand actual as well as optional future values of natural products from a nutritional science perspective.

Contents
Part I:
- Basics of Organic Chemistry (chemistry of carbon, binding models, hybridisation);
- Acyclic und cyclic hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes;
- Different ways of drawing chemical structures (Newman projection, Fischer projection);
- Basics of systematic nomenclature;
- Functional groups and properties of the corresponding chemical compounds
- Stereochemistry, isomerism, optical activity;
- Aromatic and heteroaromatic systems, heterocycles;
- Selected reactions in Organic Chemistry, introduction into the most important reaction mechanisms;
- Important basic building blocks in natural product chemistry: amino acids, sugars, isoprenoids, fatty acids, lipids

Part II:
Definition of natural products chemistry
Distribution and structural variety of natural products
Basics of natural product synthesis
