00216 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (H-Z)

The course focuses on the study of the nomenclature, reactivity, and preparation of organic compounds, together with their chemical, physical, and biological properties for potential pharmaceutical applications. The ability to recognize functional groups, understand reaction mechanisms, and critically evaluate stereochemical aspects are the primary objectives of the course.
Expected learning outcomes:
Knowledge and understanding: recognize and classify functional groups in organic molecules; describe the behavior of organic species as acids, bases, nucleophiles, and electrophiles; show the main reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry;
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: correctly name organic compounds according to IUPAC and common nomenclature; represent organic molecules using structural formulas, condensed formulas, and three-dimensional representations; complete reaction schemes by predicting reagents, products, and intermediates.
Making judgments: analyze the mechanisms of organic reactions; predict and critically discuss the stereochemical progression of organic reactions.
Communication skills: Use correctly and appropriately scientific terminology and symbols of organic chemistry.
Learning skills: Develop study and problem-solving strategies applicable to a more complex chemical and pharmaceutical context.
