The student will acquire a detailed understanding of organic reactions and their mechanisms. An introduction to the study of reaction mechanisms is given. The underlying principles for several central research areas today are introduced and discussed, e.g asymmetric synthesis, organometallic chemistry, solid-phase synthesis.

Form of teaching Lectures: 40 h. Seminars/exercises: 60 h. Laboratory: Four literature syntheses; (the laboratory will be open for two weeks)
