Course objectiveCourse objective Aim of this course is to give informations about classification and naming of stereoisomers, techniques of separation and purification, and stereochemistry of organic reactions and emphasize how important stereoisomers in drug research. 
Learning outcomes
  1. Have knowledge about definitions and types of stereoisomers
  2. Choose techniques to separate and purificate of stereoisomers
  3. Decide which resolving reagents can be used for
  4. Decide which streoisomers could be formed for the interested reaction by using knowledges about stereoisomers of organic reactions
  5. Create a realization in terms of stereoisomers in drug research
Course ContentChemical structure and symmetry, stereoisomer, enantiomers, diastereomers, separation of isomers,
Determination of configuration and asymmetric synthesis
