Objectives

Understanding the behaviour of carbon compounds and the modulation of this behaviour by the introduction of chemical functions. Systematisation of the different families of organic compounds and their associated behaviour. Relationship between the different organic families. Understanding the importance of tri-dimensionality of organic structures. Understanding the existence of the structure – chemical behaviour relationship. Chemicals synthesis, reactivity and characteristic reactions of several families of organic compounds. Acquisition of basic experimental methodology used in clarifying structure, either by chemical or spectrometric means. Evolution of student competence in the laboratory, developing good practices in the use of material and equipment while at the same time acquiring a greater awareness of laboratory safety rules.

A basic knowledge of Organic Chemistry from the Organic Chemistry I subject is assumed The presence and constant revision of this knowledge during.

Program

Systematic identification of organic compounds. Application of the spectrometric methods in structural determination, with special relevance to spectrophotometry in UV, IR, NMR and MS. Detection and confirmation of functional groups by chemical and spectral based methods. Study of functional organic compounds (alcohols, thiols, ethers, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and derivatives, enols, phenols, alkylamines and arylamines): nomenclature, physical - chemical properties, spectroscopic properties, preparation processes, properties and reactivity and mechanisms. Resolution of mixtures by chemical means.

Teaching Methodologies

Theoretical classes PowerPoint presentations; Laboratory work is carried out in groups of 2 to 3 students Teachers are available at the hours specified or by email.
