Abstract

Since its establishment in 1922 by Professor Ivan Marek and through the work of Nobel Prize winner Vladimir Prelog, the Department of Organic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology, University of Zagreb, showed strong impact, not only on scientific activities of the Department, but on the entire Croatian scientific community, especially in the domain of organic synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Preparative organic chemistry, thanks to the work of Professor Prelog (1935–1941), has remained the main scientific research activity in the Department. Since the formation of the Department of Organic Chemistry, research work in the field of synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry, as well as photochemistry, is carried out in its laboratories, scientific degrees are achieved and numerous organic chemists have been educated, many of whom are now recognised scientists in Croatia and worldwide.
