The goal		To enable the student to use theoretical knowledge to understand, explain or predict the mechanisms of organic reactions, depending on the structure of organic compounds and reaction conditions, on the basis of logically organized and understandable facts. ; To train the student in the synthesis of new organic compounds or modification of existing compounds, to advance scientific research and its specific application. Correlation between the structure and reactivity (or activities) of organic molecules provides a rational approach to the synthesis and analysis of their properties. ;
The outcome		After successfully completing the course, the students: are trained to independently understand, explain or predict the mechanisms of organic reactions, depending on the structure of organic compounds and reaction conditions, on the basis of theoretical knowledge; have gained knowledge for a rational approach to the synthesis of new organic molecules and the analysis of their properties.
Contents
Contents of lectures		The course introduces students to the mechanisms of organic reactions, depending on the molecular structure and reaction conditions on the basis of logically organized and understandable facts in order to obtain the desired compounds, with special emphasis on the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. Correlation between the structure and reactivity (or activities) of organic molecules provides a rational approach to the synthesis of molecules with desired properties.
