Aims

The aim of subject is a detailed study of the advanced organic synthesis techniques and methods of chemical research. Modern organic synthesis prefers mini and micro scale experiments requiring special glass and equipment. Organic chemistry is closely connects to the condition of product composition identification and the possibility of separating the individual components of the mixture.
The course structure is designed so that after completing this discipline, students are well prepared for modern research trends in the field of organic synthesis and characterization of organic molecules.
