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.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
At Seminar there are explained and exercised chemical properties of derivatives of organic molecules and their chemical transformations on examples. It helps to understand the theoretical knowledge achieved during Organic Chemistry 2 course.
Analyze information, outline the solution of model problems, explain chemical properties of derivatives of organic molecules and their chemical transformations. Student will be familiar with basic chemical reactions within the organic chemistry.
