Learning Outcomes
Competences
After successful completion of the course, students are able to apply basic organic chemical laboratory techniques safely and independently. They understand the principles of organic synthesis, isolation and characterization of organic compounds as well as their relevance for biomolecular processes.
Skills Knowledge
By attending the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to:

  • To carry out and optimize organic syntheses according to the instructions (k2, k3, k4),
  • to use chromatographic techniques (e.g. thin-layer chromatography, column chromatography) for the separation and purification of organic compounds (k2, k3, k4),
  • Use spectroscopic methods (e.g., IR, NMR spectroscopy) to identify and characterize synthesis products (k2, k3, k4),
  • To critically evaluate experimental results, to develop plausible chemical explanations and to document them scientifically (k4, k5).
Students acquire practical knowledge of:

  • Basics of organic synthesis: reaction mechanisms, reaction conditions and safety regulations,
  • Isolation and purification techniques: extraction, crystallization, distillation, chromatography,
  • Characterization methods: interpretation of IR, NMR and mass spectra,
  • Application of organic chemical principles to biomolecular systems (e.g. synthesis of peptides, nucleotides or carbohydrates).
Criteria for evaluation Written or, if applicable, oral examination, laboratory protocols and active participation in the practical experiments.
Methods Internship in small groups (3–6 students) supervised by academic staff.
