| Main themes |
The course aims to teach students the fundamentals of Organic Chemistry so that they can understand the specialized language used, the relationship between nature, structure and the properties of organic compounds and the basics of chemical reactivity.
|
| Aims |
The general objectives of this Chemistry course are to teach students the basic concepts of Chemistry and thus enable them to master the specialized language, understand the organization of matter and the chemical transformations it can undergo and acquire an understanding of the concepts which can lead to areas of application such as polymers and living systems.

CONTENTS
1. Review of chemical bonds
2. Notions of function, functional groups and functionality
3. Notions of isomers including notions of stereoisomers (conformations, cis/trans and optics)
4. electron movement inside molecules
1. inductive effects (permanent polarisation) and polarizability (induced polarisation)
2. mesomeric effects
relation with some properties (acid/basic character)
5. reactivity using examples in the field of small molecules and macromolecular synthesis, chosen among the following reactions:
3. nucleophilic substitution on aliphatic carbon
4. electrophilic addition on double bonds
5. substitution (elimination - addition) on the carbonyl function
6. electrophilic aromatic substitution
METHOD
- Lectures with some exercises; a move towards a more active involvement on the part of the students, for example by approaching the subject through exercises or problems, would be envisaged if the Administration and Management Institute could provide more staff to supervise group work.
- Lab work directly related to the subject matter; this is essential to show the experimental nature of Chemistry
