Acquired knowledge from general chemistry
Written test.
Basic knowledge to understand how and why an organic molecule reacts. The student will learn that the reactivity and the physical/chemical properties of the considered organic compounds is the same that is found in biological sytems and in the environment, and that the organic chemistry is part of our daily life. At the end of the course, the student will be able to recognize simple organic systems in the nature and to predict the reactivity.
Molecular structure of organic molecules: single, double and triple bonds. Carbon, nitrogen and oxygen(sp3, sp2, sp) hybridization. Bond length and bond energy. Electronegativity and bond polarization. Polarization effect on the reactivity. Electrophiles and nucleophiles.
Functional groups: structure and IUPAC nomenclature.
Resonance and aromaticity.
Nomenclature of polyfunctionalized molecules: priority scale of functional groups.
Stereochimistry.
Reactivity of functional groups.
ALKANES.
ALKENES.
ALKINES.
AROMATIC REACTIVITY.
ALKYL HALIDES.
ALCOHOLS.
CARBONYL COMPOUNDS.
CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND THEIR DERIVATIVES (Acyl halides, Esters, Amides)
