Knowledge of the most important classes of organic compounds as well as their nomenclature and properties; structure-reactivity relationship, knowledge of the most important reaction mechanisms and reactive intermediates, functional group interconversions (FGI) for syntheses and conversions of the discussed classes of organic compounds.
Carbon, the key atom of organic compounds: electron configuration - hybridisation - ¿- and ¿-bonds - influence of electronic effects and the polarity of chemical bonds - reactive intermediates - electrophiles and nucelophiles - organic acids and bases - stereo structures of organic molecules - functional groups and the carbon backbone - basic principles of the nomenclature of organic molecules - mechanisms and reaction types: addition, substitution, elimination, condensation, reduction, oxidation, rearrangement, cycloaddition. Foundation of stereo chemistry: E/Z, cis/trans, racemate, inversion, retention; CIP rules; terms like chair, boat, antiperiplanar, synclinal etc. Correlation between structure, physicochemical properties and chemical reactivity of the most important classes of organic compounds such as: alkanes, alkenes, alkines, aromatic compounds, alkyl halides, metalorganic compounds (Grignard), alcohols, ethers, thioles, thioether, sulfoxides, sulfones, amines, N-oxides and their syntheses as well as their conversions; FGI (functional group interconversion) between the discussed classes of organic compounds.
