ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 2

Degree course: 
Corso di First cycle degree in Chemical Sciences and Technologies
Academic year when starting the degree: 
2016/2017
Year: 
2
Academic year in which the course will be held: 
2017/2018
Credits: 
15
Period: 
Second semester
Standard lectures hours: 
150
Requirements: 

A deep knowledge of the topics tackled during the courses of General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry 1 is a pivotal prerequisite.

The final examination consists in a two-step procedure with written and oral tests. The former is usually structured in ten exercises on different topics, including nomenclature, guided synthesis by knowledge of reagents, planning of synthesis of aromatic compounds, acidity and basicity scale of different compounds, structure identification and separation of mixture of organic compounds. During the oral test, students will be examined on all the topics tackled during the lessons. The final mark is the average, weighted on the basis of the credits, of the partial mark of parts A and B of the course.

Assessment: 
Voto Finale

The course aims at increasing students’ knowledge of organic chemistry by these topics:
- nitrogen-containing functional groups: structure, conversion and reactivity;
- aromatic compounds: structure, reactivity, and synthesis.
At the end of the course, students will be able :
1) to knowledge properties and reactivity of aromatic and heteroaromatic systems, also taking into account possible functional groups;
2) to identify the reactivity of molecules in different conditions depending on their structures;
3) to plan a multi-step synthesis of aromatic molecules starting from assigned starting materials.

The teaching activities are supplied by front lections. PPT slides will be used in class as support for the lessons. Exercises (which corrections will be made in the next lesson) are assigned at the end of each chapter.

Professor is available to meet the students any day by previous appointment.
