Abstract | Introduction to Isomerism. Reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry (substitutions, additions, eliminations condensations) Biosynthesis of Terpenes. |
Objective | The students are able to differentiate between structural and stereoisomers. The students know the basic reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. They are able to understand and formulate simple biochemical rections. They know the basics of the biosynthesis of terpenes. |
Content | Isomerism (structural isomers, stereoisomers). Descriptive chemistry of natural products (glycerides, peptides, saccharides). Reaction mechanisms (substitutions, additions, eliminations, condensations). The citric acid cycle, the gloxylate cycle. Biosynthesis of terpenes. |
