Pharmaceutical Chemistry 2
Knowledge
The student
- has knowledge of important functional groups in organic chemistry and in active pharmaceutical ingredients
- has knowledge of the connections between organic molecule structure and chemical reactivity
- has knowledge of isomerism and stereochemical states
- has knowledge of the main types of reactions and reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry
- has knowledge of selected pharmaceutically relevant organic-chemical methods for structural clarifications of chemically simple active and natural ingredients
- has knowledge of the chemical composition and reactivity of selected biomolecules
Skills
The student
- Is able to display basic laboratory techniques and comply with laboratory safety rules
- Is able to perform the chemical synthesis of selected active pharmaceutical ingredients under supervision
- Is able to identify selected organic compounds on the basis of their NMR and MS spectroscopic data
General competence
The student
- Is able to apply their acquired knowledge in order to make their own assessments about reactivity and types of reactions in organic molecules and adopt a reasoned approach to practical laboratory work
In addition to the semester fees and course literature, students are expected to provide their own laptops, web cameras and headphones.
Students must obtain their own laboratory coats, suitable shoes for the laboratory and a calculator approved for the study programme.
Textbook and molecular model set.
Teaching takes place on campus and online.
The following learning activities may be used during teaching: lectures, online lessons, seminars, self-study, exercises with accompanying written submissions and laboratory courses and appurtenant reports. It is required that students themselves become actively involved in their learning process. Individual work accounts for a high percentage of the course workload.
The Laboratory Safety course must be passed in order to gain access to the course’s laboratory course.
This course carries a requirement for compulsory attendance. Reasons: Attendance yields skills and general competence that cannot be acquired on one’s own.
