Learning outcomes

The course presents the conceptual basis for understanding the structural and electronic properties of organic molecules and the chemical diversity of the compounds of carbon.

Program

- Features and structure of the major functional groups and their main reactivity.
- Acidity and basicity in organic chemistry. Definitions according to Lewis and Broensted. The relative strength of acids and bases: effect of structure on acidity.
- Conformational analysis. Rotation around the bonds and steric hindrance.
- Display bi-and tri-dimensional structures at the computer. Molecular systems of representation.
- Stereochemistry: Chirality, isomerism, symmetry and equivalence, asymmetry, dissymmetry. Compounds diastereomeric, enantiomeric and meso forms.
- Carbohydrates: classification and configuration, mutarotation. Disaccharides and polysaccharides of biological interest.
- Lipids: main compounds and chemical-physical characteristics. Membrane models.
- Amino acids: structure, isoelectric point. Peptides and proteins: chemical-physical characteristics.
- Nucleic acids: nucleosides, nucleotides, DNA, RNA.
