Organic Chemistry

Provide the basic knowledge to deal with chemical, biochemical and professional training activities specific to the course with rigor and scientific method, through lectures and classroom exercises (unit-1) and laboratory activities (unit-2). Unit-1 Learn to classify organic compounds on the basis of the functional group that characterizes them. Know the formula and structure of organic compounds, including biomolecules such as amino acids, polysaccharides and lipids. Furthermore, by correlating the structure to the reactivity, understand the main chemical reactions that allow to transform and functionalize the organic compounds themselves. The study of all organic chemical reactions will find its maximum application in the design of multistep synthesis of more complex organic compounds. Unit-2 Deepen the topics covered through practical exercises in the laboratory. Knowledge of the main analytical techniques (extraction, distillation, acid-base separations and chromatography) to purify organic compounds from mixtures of several products.

Recognize, face and overcome some fundamental problems concerning Organic Chemistry.
Knowing how to write the formula, the structure of organic compounds, including biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and their chemical-physical properties.
Indicate through reaction schemes the main characteristic reaction mechanisms for each compound, thus correlating the molecular structure and the functional group to reactivity. Knowing how to design multistep syntheses of more complex organic molecules.
Demonstrate autonomy in mastering the program and judgment in being able to choose among the numerous reaction conditions studied the most selective ones to make the transformations take place. Show critical and judgmental skills by choosing and applying analytical methodologies (extraction, distillation, chromatography, acid-base separation) to purify organic compounds from mixtures of multiple products.
To be able to present orally all the matter in a clear and logical way.
