Learning outcomes
This course aims at learning and understanding the relationships among structure, properties ad reactivity of organic molecules, with particular emphasis on those of natural origin. The most important functional groups are explained and discussed.
Course contents
Alkanes, alkenes, alkines: IUPAC rules - conformational analysis
- relative stability of cycloalkanes – cis and trans isomery.
Stereochemistry: stereoisomers and differences between enantiomers
and diastereomers - Compounds bearing more than one chiral
center.
Alkyl halides, alcohols, ethers, amines and sulfur containing
compounds: properties and IUPAC names.
The C=O moiety: properties and IUPAC names of carboxylic acids,
aldehydes, ketons, esters and cyclic esters, acyl halides and
anydrides. Structure of amides and similar compounds - Basic
notions on soaps, lipids and oils.
Benzene and aromaticity: benzene derivatives - resonance in benzene
and related compounds - conjugative and inductive effect of
substituents in benzene - effect of substituents on acidity and
basicity of some aromatic molecules.
Some reactions of organic molecules: electrophilic Addition of
halogenidric acids to alkenes – nucleophilic addition or
substitution to carbonilic and carboxylic groups leading to
hemiacetals and acetals from aldehydes, to hemiketals and
ketalsfrom ketones, to esthers from carboxylic acids.

Teaching tools
Most of the pictures showed during the lessons have been recently uploaded to the website "it.wikibooks.org/wiki/Chimica_organica", toghether with some explanations ... in italian. On request il will be possible to have the same pieces of information translated in English. Please be aware that every user can modify those web pages, maybe adding misleading pieces of information.
