Applied organic chemistry with lab

The course aims to provide the student with a good knowledge of the main industrial sectors where synthetic organic chemistry is relevant. Some meaningful examples are presented and thoroughly discussed during the theoretical part of the course. Several intermediates and compounds with industrial relevance will be prepared and characterized during the laboratory activities.

Students will take advantage of this course, as it will provide a general overview of the industrial applications of synthetic organic chemistry. Among the five selected industrial applications dealt with in the theoretical course (pharma, agro, catalysis, renewable energies and nanotech), the student will get information about modern trends for each sector, and will become ready to consider each of them for his/her future working experiences.
