ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 2 (MOD. A)
A deep knowledge of the topics tackled during the courses of General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry 1 is a pivotal prerequisite.
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.
