Vorlesung

Compulsory course in the 3rd semester of the BSc programme
in Forensic Sciences

The course consists of a lecture, an accompanying tutorial (exercises)
and a laboratory course (including experiments).
Lecture: 3 lesson hours per week
Tutorial: 2 lesson hours per week;
Laboratory course: 1 lesson hour per week;

___________________________________________

Fundamental principles of organic chemistry (such as theory of chemical bonds and molecular structure),
Introduction into important classes of organic substances (including essential classes of biomolecules) with a special focus on their physical and chemical properties (such as volatility, polarity, solubility, acidity / basicity).
Presentation of typical chemic
al reactions of organic compounds including reaction mechanisms,
Influences of stereochemical aspects on the molecular structure as well as the physical and chemical properties of organic substances.
Comparison of chemical and biochemical reaction pathways for selected reactions (such as oxidations and acetylations)

Download scripts, exercises, group assignment etc (LEA)
