English language

Seminars aimed at advanced topic of organic chemistry with focus on synthetic utilization of

organic reactions combined with solving of tasks. Topics of seminars: 1) alkylation of enolates; 2) reactions of C-nucleophiles with carbonyl compounds 3) transformations of functional groups; 4) electrophilic additions to C-C multiple bonds; 5) reductions; 6) cycloadditions and rearrangements; 7) organometallic compounds; 8) reactions of carbenium ions, carbenes and radicals; 9) aromatic substitutions; 10) oxidations, reductions and multi-step synthesis.

The aim of the course is to motivate students to deepen their knowledge of advanced organic

chemistry via self-study. This is followed by seminars and discussions which should practice and

strengthen the knowledge. In seminars, students solve advanced tasks based on original research

from organic chemistry and thus acquire deeper knowledge of organic chemistry and ability to

creatively solve problems.
