The structural theory of organic chemistry. Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry. Carbon compounds and chemical bond. Stereochemistry. Conformation and geometric isomerism of cyclic and non-cyclic compounds. Non-bonded interactions. Chemical equilibria. Elementary and complex chemical reactions. Reaction of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes (SR, AE and AR mechanisms). Reaction of aromatic hydrocarbons (SEAr mechanism). Substitution reactions of aliphatic alkyl halides (SN1, SN2 mechanism). Elimination reactions of aliphatic alkyl halides (E1, E2 mechanisms) and substitution reactions of aryl halides (SNAr-EA, SNAr-AE mechanisms). Reaction of organometallic compounds. Reactions of alcohols and phenols. Reactions of ethers. Reactions of aldehydes and ketones. Reaction of carbonyl bond (AN mechanism). Other reaction of carbonyl compounds. Reaction of aliphatic and aromatic nitrogen compounds. Reactions of carboxylic acids. Reactions of acyl halides and esters of carboxylic acids. Reactions of anhydrides of carboxylic acids, amides and nitriles. Reactions of substitution derivatives of carboxylic acids. Reactions of carbonic acid derivatives.

Learning outcomes
The main aim of the course is to teach undergraduate students basic rules of organic chemistry nomenclature, to give information about basic general principles of organic chemistry (localized and delocalized chemical bond, stereochemistry, elemental principles of mechanisms of organic reactions), to show typical essential reactions of groups of organic compounds and to exercise presented knowledge on real examples.
Undergraduate student is after course passing able to use practically organic chemistry nomenclature, to connect knowledge of basic principles of organic chemistry with knowledge of typical reactions of groups of organic compounds.
Prerequisites
No special requirements.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Apply the basic theoretical knowledges to reactivity of specific types of organic compounds.
