Content of Learning Activity

The course is divided into two parts. The first part deals with general aspects of organic chemistry reviewing the electronic structure of the major elements in organic chemistry. The geometry of organic molecules, 3D-structres and bonds is described. On this basis, the various phenomena of isomerism and stereoisomerism are detailed. Electronic effects (inductive and mesomeric effects) in organic molecules are presented to better understand the observed reactivity. This part ends on the concepts of functions and structures of common functional groups and their nomenclature, and the presentation of the main organic reactions (reduction, oxydation, addition, subsitution, condensation, etc.). The second part is dedicated to the study of the properties and reactivity of different classes of organic compounds (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, alcohols, acids, amines). A number of reactions such as substitution on aliphatic carbon, radical and electrophilic addition to alkenes, the elimination from halo-alkanes and alcohols, the substitution of aromatic compounds and oxidation-reduction reactions. The involvement of different classes of organic compounds of daily life and living environment is exposed; special attention is given to polymers, their synthesis and their properties. Exercises and practical work (laboratory) focus on understanding the structures and bonds, molecule geometry, isomery and stereoisomery, identification of different organic families and functions, nomenclature, reaction properties of various chemical families and practical synthesis of some common organic compounds.
