The aim of this course is introduction of the disconnection approach to organic synthesis. This approach is analytical: we start with the molecule we want to make (the target molecule) and break it down by a series of disconnections into possible starting materials. During the course, the retrosynthetic method is shown on simple as well as on more complicated structures which are known from practical life: pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, perfumes etc. Last update: Kundrát Ondřej (24.01.2018)

The course is concluded with a credit and an exam.
To be awarded a credit, it is necessary to obtain at least 50 points (out of 100 possible) from a mid-semester written test and to successfully present the synthesis of the assigned compound according to the recommended literature. Presentations are usually held during the last two weeks of the semester in seminars.
The student can take the exam after obtaining a credit. The exam consists of a written part and an oral part. The student can pass the oral part if he/she obtains at least 50 points out of 100 possible in the written part. Last update: Cibulka Radek (11.05.2026)
