ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II MOD. B
Knowledge of contents of the General Chemistry course and of the Organic Chemistry 1 course.
a) Theoretical course: the course provides the knowledge for either recognizing the chemical hazard or working in safe conditions in an organic chemistry laboratory. It gives the theoretical knowledge of the main procedures of synthesis, purification and isolation of an organic compound. Basic introduction of the main characterization methods for organic compounds is also given.
b) Practical course: students carry out the simplest operations of synthesis, purification and isolation of organic compounds; they are driven toward the acquisition of a clear scientific language through the production of scientific reports.
a) Theoretical course: Hazards and safety in an organic chemistry laboratory. Theoretical and practical approaches to an organic reaction. Introduction to purification techniques: crystallization, solvent extraction, simple and fractional distillation, thin layer and column chromatography. Determination of the minimum formula and of unsaturation number. Spectroscopy fundamentals (IR, NMR) for the characterization of organic functional groups.
b) Practical course: Synthetic reactions, fundamental operations of isolation and purification as well as characterization, through physical properties and spectroscopic techniques, of an organic compound will be performed by each student.
