Base Knowledge
The carbon-carbon bond. Hybridization of carbon and molecular geometry.
The main families of organic compounds: hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, multibinding compounds.
Cycle-alkanes, cyclo-alkenes and cyclo-alkynes), halogenated derivatives, alcohols and thiols,ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines and amides, aromatic compounds and bicyclic compounds.
IUPAC Nomenclature, properties and characteristics reactions.
Chemical synthesis reactions.
Conformation and isomerism.
Structural isomerism and stereoisomerism.
Special emphasis to optical isomerism.
Teaching Methodologies
The lectures are aimed at a detailed presentation of the syllabus. Them using an expository-active methodology.
The contents are exposed calling for constant intervention of the student.
Execution of laboratory work.
Continuous assessment includes two evaluations in the form of written exam of the syllabus in the theoretical part, and the marks obtained in the first must be at least 7.5 / 20 values in order to make the second. It is also composed of a
practical assessment in the form of delivery reports, where the grade obtained must be at least 8.5 / 20 values and this evidence is round and has a 25% weighting factor for the final grade.
The final grade is the practical assessment of set plus the theoretical and must be equal to or greater than 9.5 / 20 points.
Students also have exam periods where the assessment takes on a global character.
Learning Results
The main objective of the course of Applied Organic Chemistry focuses on the gather of subject sets leading to the understanding of the structure of organic molecules, physical and chemical properties of organic compounds and prediction of their reactivity.
The acquisition of knowledge about fundamental reactions of organic chemistry, equips the student with the tools needed to develop synthetic processes of drugs.
Thus, the student must be prepared to identifi the main families of organic compounds including their nomenclature and functional group most characteristic reactions.
It should also acquire knowledge regarding the conformations and isomerism of each organic molecule, and the kind of bonds involved.
