CHIM/06 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Period
Semester 2 dal Mar 4, 2024 al Jun 14, 2024.
Courses Single
Authorized with reserve
Learning objectives
The course aims to teach the student the fundamental principles on which the chemistry of carbon derivatives and their reactivity is based by examining the molecular structural properties and fundamental reaction mechanisms
The main acquired knowledge will be:
basic knowledge of the various types of homo- and heteronuclear chemical bonds; physical and chemical characteristics of the various functional groups;
knowledge of the fundamental reactions for the transformation of functional groups;
knowledge of the reactions of formation of homo- and heteronuclear bonds, with particular reference to the formation of the carbon-carbon bond.
The main skills will be:
ability to represent an organic compound through structural formulas;
name an organic molecule;
identify the reactivity centers of a chemical species and classify its chemical behavior.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Students must have followed the course of General and Inorganic Chemistry
Program
- Introduction: bond types, bond polarity, acidity and basicity, hybridization of the carbon atom, resonance.
- Hydrocarbons: alkanes and cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds.
- Stereochemistry.
- Structure, properties and reactivity of: alcohols, ethers and thiols; aldehydes and ketones; carboxylic acids and their derivatives; amines.
- Main reaction mechanisms: nucleophilic substitution, elimination, electrophilic addition to the double bond, nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl, nucleophilic acyl substitution.
- Chemistry of carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, nucleotides .

Didactic methods
The teacher will use frontal lessons and will propose exercises. Attendance is recommended.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam is written with multiple choice questions, exercises and open-ended questions.
To pass the exam, students must demonstrate that they:
- have understood the principles on which the chemistry of organic molecules is based
- be able to precisely describe the properties and reactivity of compounds
- know how to apply the knowledge acquired to solve problems presented in the form of exercises and questions.
Evaluation criteria
Ability to organize the acquired knowledge, critical reasoning ability, rigor in the representation of molecular structures and in carrying out chemical reactions, correct use of terminology.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
Vote out of thirty.
