Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
  • unspecified - 56 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The student will meet the production of "active substances", used in pharmaceutical industry, which cover a very wide range of structural types both carbocyclic and heterocyclic substances. He will recognize a broad selection of organic reactions which were chosen to illustrate the strategy and the organic transformations that were used to prepare the various structural classes used as medical drugs.
The student will be informed on active substances used in pharmacy. He will also know about synthetic procedures used for synthesis of various structural classes of drugs.
Prerequisites
The course is designed for students of Master's degree. For successful completing the course is to be familiar with the content of the following subjects: UOCHT/C008 Organic chemistry UOCHT/C511 Basic principles of organic synthesis UOCHT/C318 Bioorganic chemistry UOCHT/C059 Organic synthesis UECHI/C188 Equipment and processes in organic technology UOCHT/C564 Intermediates of organic processes

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

Understanding and active knowledge of Basic organic synthesis.
