Organic Chemistry

The aim of the course is to provide students with the necessary background to understand the chemistry of organic compounds and organic reactions mechanisms that are of interest in Medical Biotechnology This course aims at providing students with the knowledge required to tackle the fundamental problems of organic chemistry, with particular emphasis on the study of the correlation between physical-chemical properties and reactivity of organic compounds

Students will be able to know the principles of organic chemistry and to evaluate the applications of those chemical knowledges that are basic for the study of Medical Biotechnology. They will acquire a good understanding of structure and reactivity of simple organic molecules; will be able to describe reaction mechanisms and to predict on their basis the course of unknown reactions.
