The Department of Organic Chemistry offers and provides quality teaching of organic chemistry at all levels of study from undergraduate to doctoral. During the bachelor's degree students are introduced to the fundamentals of organic chemistry and heterocyclic chemistry. They then deepen their knowledge and understanding in courses such as organic synthesis and a number of other specialized courses in the follow-up master's degree. The Department of Organic Chemistry also provides practical teaching in the Organic Practical and Advanced Organic Practical courses.
Listed student theses can be found on the SIS website

Chemistry of Alkaloids The course is predestined for those who want to learn about the origin, natural sources, unbelievably rich array of structure variations, biosynthesis and, especially, synthesis of alkaloids. You will hear about a crucial role of Mannich reaction and related processes in both the biosynthesis and the total synthesis of these metabolites. |
doc. Ing. Josef Hájíček, CSc. | winter |
| MC270P109 |
Chemistry of Heterocycles In this course, we dive deep into the fascinating interplay between structure, reactivity, and stereochemistry of heterocyclic compounds through dynamic discussions. We'll revisit and expand upon core concepts of organic chemistry and synthesis, exploring dozens of real-world examples that demonstrate the tactics and strategies of organic synthesis. What's more, about a quarter of the featured syntheses have been personally carried out by the lecturer, ensuring you'll gain invaluable practical insights and hands-on advice. This course is an ideal way to prepare for state exams (Master's/Ph.D. programs) and to sharpen your skills in organic chemistry.

Radiopharmaceuticals This subject will be interesting due to its highly multidisciplinary connection (associative fusion) of knowledge and discoveries from the fields of pharmacology, organic, physical, nuclear, inorganic, medicinal, general, analytical chemistry and biochemistry, physics, mathematics, toxicology, IT, AI, physiology, pathophysiology and general medicine. Practical demonstrations of the use of radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine include not only the principle of preparation and use of radionuclides in a medicinal product, but also the reach and overlap of knowledge into sophisticated medical fields - especially cardiology, neurology and oncology, which are today considered promising and modern from the point of view of nuclear medicine, which uses radiopharmaceuticals on a daily basis. |
RNDr. Marek Moša, Ph.D. | winter |
| MC270P92 |
Retrosynthesis and Total Synthesis of Organic Compounds In this course, you will learn how to apply the retrosynthetic approach to efficiently plan organic syntheses of complex molecules. You will also gain deeper insight into synthesising natural products and specific types of compounds, such as macrocycles. |
