A deep knowledge of the topics tackled during the courses of General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry 1 is an essential prerequisite.
The final examination consists in a two-step procedure with written and oral tests. The former is usually structured in exercises on
- reactivity and synthesis;
- structure identification and separation of mixture of organic compounds.
During the oral test, students will be examined on all the topics tackled during the lessons.
The final mark will take into account the evaluation of part B of the course, based on the reports of the experimental activities.
The course aims at increasing students’ knowledge of organic chemistry by these topics:
- nitrogen-containing functional groups: structure, conversion and reactivity;
- aromatic compounds: structure, reactivity, and synthesis.
At the end of the course, students will be able:
1) to knowledge properties and reactivity of aromatic and heteroaromatic systems, also taking into account possible functional groups;
2) to identify the reactivity of molecules in different conditions depending on their structures;
3) to plan a multi-step synthesis of aromatic molecules starting from assigned starting materials;
4) to operate in safety in a laboratory of organic chemistry;
5) to apply the most important procedures of synthesis and techniques of purification for organic compounds.
