Course detail
Advanced Organic Chemistry
FCH-DAO_OCHAcad. year: 2025/2026
The subject provides knowledge of advanced techniques used in organic synthesis. The student will learn about the use of special laboratory glassware, work in microsyntheses and microseparations. Subsequently, the subject provides a comprehensive overview of techniques for the purification and identification of organic compounds, such as recrystallization and melting point, distillation and boiling point, extraction, chromatography methods, spectral methods used to detect chemical structures. The aim of the course is to provide a comprehensive view of advanced organic synthesis procedures both from the point of view of the use of apparatus and from the point of view of product finalization and identification.

Aims
The subject develops knowledge about modern approaches to organic synthesis using various special techniques for both synthesis and processing of reaction mixtures. It also deals with the description of techniques for purification of reaction mixtures and isolation of the product itself. Attention is also paid to the structural identification of new molecules with an emphasis on modern synthetic processes in pharmaceutical and food chemistry. Attention is also paid to the environmental aspects of organic synthesis ("green chemistry").
