00216 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (H-Z)

The course is based on the study of the nomenclature, the reactivity, and the preparation of organic compounds, with reference to the physico-chemical and biological properties for the pharmaceutical applications. The ability to recognize the functional groups, the understanding of the reaction mechanisms and the critical analysis of the stereochemical aspects represents the aims of the course. Learning results: Knowledge and skills - nomenclature and properties of the functional groups; - reactivity of organic molecules like acids, bases, electrophiles and nucleophiles; - assign the name to organic molecules second to the IUPAC rules; - recognize the different types of chemical reactions and complete the reaction schemes. Self-judgment - ability to discuss the reactions mechanisms; - ability to discuss the stereochemistry of the obtained molecules. Communication abilities - demonstrate scientific language and chemical symbolism; - ability in designing organic compounds from the molecular structures to the three-dimensional representations.
