1. Have basic computer skills. 2. Know the basic concepts of organic chemistry. 3. Be able to represent the formulas of organic compounds. 4. Have basic skills in writing organic reactions. 5. Have basic knowledge of general chemistry. 6. Have the skills of operations in a chemical laboratory.
Course content
The "Computers in Research" section is designed for students to learn the most important and most widely used computer programs for processing scientific information: text, graphics or digital, and mixed. Among the programs studied: "Word", "Exel", "Power Point", "ChemWin", "ChemDraw", "ISIS Base", "ADVASP", "HyperChem", "Mopac", etc. 3D modeling of organic molecules and quantum chemical calculations of chemical reaction and conformational transformations are practiced. The part "Organic reactions in solutions" is intended for in-depth study of the theory of organic reactions in aspects related to intermolecular interactions of organic compounds in solutions, changes in the electronic structure of organic molecules depending on physicochemical properties of molecules, as well as other conditions: ultrasonic and microwave fields, etc.
