Organic Chemistry I 1200-1CHMCHO12
The reactivity as well as preparation methods of organic compounds bearing one functional group will be discussed. The following compounds will be presented:
- hydrocarbons (aliphatic, saturated and unsaturated, aromatic),
- halogenated hydrocarbons
- alcohols and phenols
- ethers
- amine
- aldehydes
- ketones
- carboxylic acids and their derivatives.
For every class of compounds the following are discussed: nomenclature, structure, stereochemistry, basic chemical transformations with reaction mechanisms as well as methods of preparation.

Learning outcomes
After completing this course, the student should possess knowledge of the fundamentals of organic chemistry.
K_W08 – The student has advanced knowledge of the classification of organic compounds according to functional groups (nomenclature, structure, chemical reactions, methods of preparation, occurrence, and applications). The student knows and understands the mechanisms of selected organic reactions and their stereochemical aspects.
K_W12 – The student has advanced knowledge of methods and techniques for the synthesis and identification of organic compounds (with particular emphasis on pharmacologically relevant and biologically active compounds), using chemical, chromatographic, spectroscopic, and diffraction techniques.
K_U08 – The student is able to analyze problems in the field of organic chemistry, including investigating the mechanisms of organic reactions.
Assessment criteria
Lecture
The written examination evaluating student’s knowledge of methods of preparation as well as the reactivity of organic compounds. Admission to the exam is the completion of the proseminars.
Proseminars
Completion of the proseminar is based on:
1. attendance at classes (maximum of two excused absences are allowed)
2. three partial tests.
One of the tests in which the student was absent, and has an excuse registered in the Dean's Office, can be supplemented in an additional time at the end of the semester.
Persons who obtain at least 80 points from the partial tests (grade 4.5 or 5.0) will be exempt from the exam (with the same grade as from the proseminar).
Persons who do not obtain the required number of 50 points or wish to improve their grade will be able to take revision test on the entire material. The result of the retake test does not exempt you from the exam.
Grading scale:
≥ 50 p. = 3,0;
≥ 60 p. = 3,5;
≥ 70 p. = 4,0;
≥ 80 p. = 4,5;
≥ 90 p. = 5,0.
Total student workload: 125 hours, including:
- participation in lectures – 30 hours,
- participation in proseminars – 30 hours,
- consultations with the instructor (lectures and proseminars) – 20 hours,
- preparation for colloquia (proseminars) – 20 hours,
- preparation for the final exam – 25 hours.
