• 1.4.3 - Organic Chemistry (postgraduate studies).
• 1.4.3 - Organic Chemistry (doctoral studies).

The faculty has a methodical school and a scientific one. Professor Aksenov's Stavropol School of Organic Chemists is known far beyond the borders of our country. New methodologies for the selective synthesis of complex molecular structures (head Aksenov A.V., Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor);

Academic staff: 

Currently, the faculty employs 31 teachers and researchers, of whom 26 are full–time employees, and 5 employees are external part-time employees, including employers. The Faculty of Chemistry has 10 Doctors of Sciences (32.25% of the total number of teachers) and 15 Candidates of Sciences. The academic staff is 81% settled. Among the faculty's teaching staff, young teachers are 39 years old and account for more than 70%. The faculty regularly hosts lectures by leading Russian and foreign scientists. 

Faculty members are holders of various levels of awards and titles, including "Honorary Worker of Science and Technology", "Honorary Worker of Higher Professional Education", medals "For Valiant Labor", "100th Professor Costa", laureates of the State Prize and the Award of the Government of the Russian Federation. 

The quality of graduate training in various fields and specialties is ensured by a high level of staff. 

The faculty has a Dissertation Council for the defense of candidate's and doctoral theses 24.2.398.05 – Chemical Sciences. Organic chemistry.

Laboratories of the Faculty of Chemistry: 

• research Laboratory of new organic materials,
• research Laboratory of new synthetic methods,
• Research Laboratory of physical research methods (it includes: Laboratory of NMR, Laboratory of Mass Spectrometry, Laboratory of X-ray Diffraction Analysis, Laboratory of Chromatography and Optical Research Methods),
• Research Laboratory of stereoselective synthesis.

Practice and employment: 

Students and postgraduates of the faculty undergo internships and internships, including under the ERASMUS-MUNDUS academic mobility program of the European Union, in foreign countries (Belarus, Germany, Slovenia, etc.). Internship agreements have been concluded with the following enterprises: Luminophor, CJSC Monocrystall, JSC NPK Escom, etc. The Faculty maintains close working contacts with various services and organizations representing the sphere of professional interests of graduates, which allows some future graduates to decide on employment. The training of specialists is carried out taking into account the needs of the labor market. Graduates of the faculty have no problems finding employment, 98% of them work in their specialty.

Scientific research activities: 

The purpose of the faculty's research activities is to develop powerful and convenient approaches to synthetically difficult-to-access molecular structures, including natural compounds and their achiral and chiral analogues. It is aimed at solving a fundamental problem related to the search for new types of reactivity, as well as previously unknown diastereo- and enantioselective reactions. This approach is based on flexible and selective control, which allows, at the request of the experimenter, to direct the chemical process along one of many competitive paths. To implement it, the methodologies of "smart" reaction media based on phosphoric acids are used. In addition, an approach is used that is based on reactions of template-controlled stereoselective catalytic addition of various groups to a strained cyclopropene double bond, which allows modifications using cyclopropane derivatives. Special attention is paid to aliphatic dinitro compounds, which are used to create single-stage synthesis methods for heterocyclic compounds, acetohydroxamic acids, etc. An important point is the implementation of stereoselective methods and the isolation of the obtained substances in the form of individual enantiomers. Preparative methods are being developed for the highly effective and selective synthesis of analogues of alkaloids and other natural compounds, which are very interesting from the point of view of developing new drugs. Biological tests of the obtained compounds, including preclinical ones, are being carried out jointly with American and Belgian colleagues. Our efforts help transform newly discovered transformations into powerful and convenient preparative synthetic methods that are used to obtain privileged structural scaffolds for medicinal chemistry, as well as previously inaccessible molecular structures, which significantly expands the horizons of organic synthesis.
