Winter Term 2024/25
Lecture Course „Basics of Organic Chemistry (Bachelor, OC-II)“
The lecture – given in German – is held in HS Chemie every Monday 8:15-10:00 am and every Thursday 8.15-9.00 am. It starts October, 14th, 2024. Basic principles of organic chemistry and important compound classes are introduced. It is the follow-up lecture on fundamental organic chemistry (OC-I); knowledge of this lecture is essential. Compound classes that will be introduced are alcohols and phenols, ethers, thio compounds, amines, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives as well as amino acids, peptides, sugars and lipids. The major reactivities of all these classes will be elucidated and important mechanisms are discussed. The lecture is essential to all chemistry students. Corresponding material is available via Ilias. An accompanying seminar course (Übungen) will be offered for a deeper understanding of the subject (see below).
Seminar Course (Übungen) „Basics of Organic Chemistry (Bachelor, OC-II)“
A corresponding seminar course will take place every Thursday 9.15-10.00 am in HS Chemie. Respective exercises are available via Ilias after the lecture on Thursday afternoon. It is highly recommended to solve the exercises and to join this course in order to be well prepared for the final exam. The first seminar course will be given on October 17th.
Lecture Course „Natural Products (Master, Advanced Organic Chemistry)“
The lecture – given in German – is held in R 00 002 every Friday 10:15-12:00 am. It starts October, 18th, 2024. The lecture provides an overview about basic biosynthetic pathways and the properties of secondary natural products and their classification. Particular emphasis is placed on polyketides, terpenes and alkaloids. The portfolio is rounded off by an introduction to the natural compounds of the primary metabolism such as carbohydrates and amino acids. The biosynthetic findings are used to understand bio-mimetic total syntheses of natural products. A script and a ppt presentation exists and can be downloaded in Ilias.
