Learning Outcomes
Knowledge of the stereochemistry of organic compounds, especially stereocenters (R/S).identification and analysis of the various stereogenic centers in the molecule
Knowledge of the reactivity and synthesis of functional groups, arenes, heterocycles and natural products.ability to analyze and recognize the various functional groups present in the molecule and to evaluate the reactivity in the various reaction conditions.
Prerequisites
Exam preparatory General and Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry 1.
Teaching Methods
Classroom lectures. Available to students: pdf copy of lesson slides, exercises and previous exam tests.
Additional Information
in the case of online teaching, the lessons will be recorded for those who cannot be present
Assessment Methods
Written test with organic chemistry exercises, which will evaluate the knowledge of the reactivity of various functional groups analyzed during the course and the student's ability to apply this knowledge led to the synthesis of target molecules.
Possible oral examination to supplement the written test
