Organic Chemistry

Aims of the course is to present all classes of organic compounds , describing their chemico-physical characteristics, the reactivity as well as some preparation method. Knowledge of carbohydrates, amino acids, and nucleotides will be increased.Particular attention is dedicated to stereochemistry, with the recognition of chiral molecules and assessments of their reactivity.

The main purpose of the course is to enable the student to recognize the class of belonging of every organic molecule and thus to predict its reactivity in the biological field as well. In addition, the course provides the minimum cognitive tools for predicting or explaining supramolecular interactions among organic molecules.
