Organic Chemistry I

This course aims at providing the student with the knowledge required to tackle all the fundamental problems of organic chemistry, with particular emphasis on the study of the chemical properties and reactivity of aliphatic compounds.

The student will acquire a good understanding of structure and reactivity of aliphatic organic molecules; he/she will be able to describe reaction mechanisms and to predict on their basis the course of unknown reactions; they will be able to formulate synthetic strategies for molecules of low complexity.
