Division of Chemistry

Chair of Organic Chemistry

The following courses are taught by the chair (at present only in Estonian):

• YKO3405 Organic chemistry I
• YKO5606 Organic chemistry II
• YKO0020 Mechanisms of chemical reactions
• YKO0040 Methods of chemical synthesis
• YKO3403 Organic chemistry I-laboratory A
• YKO5313 Organic synthesis-course paper
• YKO9010 Advanced course: basic principles of stereochemistry

Research:

• synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds,
• new methods of asymmetric synthesis,
• synthesis of bioactive compounds,
• synthesis of cell-selective dendrimers.

• Asymmetric Oxidation of Ketones: Towards Chiral non-Racemic Bioactive Compounds (Prof Margus Lopp) (pdf)
• Amine-catalysed Asymmetric Organocatalytic Reactions (Prof Tõnis Kanger) (pdf)

24-Feb-2004 The Science prize of Republic of Estonia in the fields of chemistry and molecular biology was awarded for the research in "New asymmetric reactions and their catalysts" to Margus Lopp (head of the group), Tõnis Kanger and Anne Paju.

• Research topics
• PhD theses
• Group of asymmetric synthesis
