Learning outcomes
The course involves the study of the structure, properties, reactions, and preparation of organic compounds, which are sorted into organic families defined by their functional groups. At the end of the course, the student will understand the fundamental principles of organic chemistry, the main synthetic methods to obtain organic compounds, and the structure-reactivity relationship governing the behavior of organic molecules, with broader reference to medicinal chemistry and life science.
