acquired skills
Understanding of the chemical properties and reactivity of aliphatic compounds. Synthesis and retro-synthesis of molecules of low complexity

Course content
The concepts of chemical bonding and atom ibridization will be briefly summarized, followed by an introduction to stereochemistry and conformational analysis. Then, the standard classification of organic compounds on the basis of their reactivity deriving from the presence of functional groups will be presented in the following sequence: alkanes, haloalkanes, alcohols, alkenes, alkynes, polyenes, allylic and other delocalized systems, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, amines.
The student will be trained in solving simple problems of organic chemistry and retro-synthetic analysis of relatively complex structures.

Suggested prerequisites
basic knowledge of General Chemistry

Reference material
Any Organic Chemistry textbook can be used for this course.
As an example, the following ones are cited. They should be used in the most recent Italian version.
- Gorzynski Smith: Chimica Organica, Mc Graw Hill
- P. Bruice: Chimica Organica, EdiSES
- Brown, Foote, Iverson, Anslyn: Chimica Organica, EdiSES
- M. Loudon: Chimica Organica, EdiSES
- J. McMurry: Chimica Organica , Piccin
- K. P. Volhardt, N.E. Schore: Chimica Organica, Zanichelli

Assessment method
A written test, which can be split in two sessions in progress, must be passed for admission to the oral examination. The oral examination starts form the discussion of a retro-synthetic scheme for a simple organic molecules and touches on all aspects of the program
