Course content
1. Introduction, summary of OC1 (Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, electrophilic substitution, aromates, mesomeric effects, electrophilic aromatic substitution, halogen derivatives, nucleophilic substitution and elimination). 2. Hydroxy derivatives - alcohols and phenols. 3. Ethers - physical properties in comparison with alcohols.Thioles and sulfides. Comparison with the oxygen derivatives. Products of oxidation - sulfinic and sulfonic acids, sulfoxides and sulfones. Sulfonic acids and their derivatives, their preparation and reactivity, application. 4. Amino derivatives - the basic chemical properties. Hofmann rearrangement. Reactivity of amines with nitrous acid. Diazotization and diazonium salts, coupling reactions. Quaternary amonium salts. Hofmann elimination. Reactions with phase transfer catalysis. Diazocompounds. Diazoalkanes, diazoesters, diazoketones. Arndt-Eistert-Wolf rearrangement. Azides. Nitro compounds. Structure and reactivity. Influence of the nitro group on the carbon skeleton. Preparation of nitro compounds. Ambident ions. Reduction of nitro compounds. Azo, azoxy and hydrazo compounds. Nitriles and isonitriles. Structure and reactivity and preparation. Hydrolysis of nitriles. 5. Carbonyl derivatives 1. 6. Carbonyl derivatives 2. 7. Carboxylic acids, their structure, representatives, chemical properties. Influence of the carbon rest on the acidity. Esterification. 8. Function derivatives of carboxylic acids (halogen derivatives, anhydrides, esters, amides, nitriles, hydroxamic acids, hydrazides, azides). Preparation and comparison of their properties. 9. Substitutional derivatives of carboxylic acids (halogen derivatives, hydroxy derivatives, amino acids, keto acids). 10. Carbohydrates (aldoses, ketoses, trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses), nomenclature. Mutarotation and cyclic form. 11. Heterocyclic compounds (five- and six-membered heterocycles).
