General expected learning outcomes Organic chemistry is a chemistry discipline involving the scientific study of the structure, reactivity, properties and applications of compounds which are formed mainly by carbon atoms, forming covalent bonds, both from natural and artificial sources The general objective, is to provide students with the knowledge and competences necessary to understand the relationship between molecular structure and reactivity of the different functional groups, the mechanisms of organic reactions, the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds and biomolecules. For a CTF student, this learning is essential, because most drugs are organic compounds, and their biological activity depends on their interaction with biological targets, which are also organic compounds. This knowledge will allow the student to be able to understand the fundamental synthetic methodology for the construction heterocyclic compounds. Furthermore, stereochemical complements will be essential for improving the understanding of the drug-receptor interactions, a crucial topic in different next courses. Specific expected learning outcomes The Organic Chemistry 2 course is devoted to provide students with the adequate knowledge to be independent in solving problems about the main aspects of specific organic chemistry studies. This ability will be acquired by the means of frontal lesson submitting case studies of general interest. Teaching materials, available on line will support students during the lessons even thought studying the recommended text book is essential to acquire the skills and the competence that are necessary to perform the final exam. In order to improve the exposure ability, students will be constantly encouraged to communicate their ideas to both specialists and non specialists audiences. The Erasmus programme will enable students to improve their communications skills, by exchanging informations, problems and solutions. The specific objectives consist in acquiring the following knowledge and expertise: 1) to understand advanced stereochemistry and its importance on the reactivity of organic compounds; 2) to understand the relationship between structural distortion and reactivity for the different functional groups; 3) to acquire the specific knowledge to understand organic catalysis 4) to acquire the specific knowledge about the main chemical properties of heterocyclic compounds and the main routes to their synthesis; 5) to acquire the specific knowledge to understand the synthetic application of pericyclic reactions; 6) to acquire the specific knowledge to formulate reaction mechanism hypothesis; 7) to acquire the specific knowledge to understand the specific properties of biomolecules.
