Organic Chemistry I is a preparatory subject, focused on nomenclature and relationships between structure and physical properties of organic compounds, important for their application as chemical drugs. Emphasis is put on chemical drugs as small organic molecules, the properties and architecture of which determines transport in human organism and interaction with receptors. The subject thus enables the students to follow up in specialized pharmaceutical disciplines, primarily Pharmaceutical Chemistry, but also Pharmacognosy, Biochemistry and Pharmacology. Topics: Nomenclature of Organic Compounds, Structure of Organic Compounds, Polarity of Bonds and Related Physical Properties, Intermolecular Attractive Forces and Related Physical Properties, Physical Methods of Structure Elucidation.

The subject is completed by gaining credit and passing an examination, both in the form of a written test. The credit is awarded for 100% attendance at seminars and obtaining a minimum of 60% of the total points from two credit tests to be taken in the 6th and 10th seminars. Each credit test will be composed of 5 questions, each answer worth two points . The first test will be focused on simple nomenclature and stereochemistry, the second one will be focused on basic physical and spectral properties of organic compounds. In the case of being unsuccessful, the student will have three more resit attempts for the credit tests in the exam period. The resit test will be composed of five questions comprising all the above topics, each answer marked with a maximum of two points if correct; the credit will be awarded for obtaining a minimum of 60% of the total number of points.

The examination test will be composed of 10 questions, each answer marked with a maximum of two points if correct. A minimum of 60% of the total points is again required to pass the examination.
