Chemistry

The educational objectives expected in the course of Stereochemistry are the acquisition of the basic concepts of stereochemistry and stereoselective synthesis, the ability to correctly identify the possible stereogenic elements of a molecule, the knowledge of stereochemical nomenclature, the knowledge of the concepts regarding relative and absolute stereoselectivity. Students should be able to apply the acquired knowledge, recognize the spatial relationships between the groups of a molecule, recognize the stereogenic elements of a molecule. They should be able to recognize which asymmetric reactions could be successfully applied in an asymmetric synthesis and discuss the related problems. Students will have to be able to identify all possible stereoisomers of a complex molecule and correctly describe the stereochemical relationships between them.
