Objectives
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE: TO TEACH THE BASIC ORGANIC CHEMISTRY IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE STUDENT TO CLASSIFY AND REPRESENT THE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, RATIONALISING AND PREDICTING THE REACTIVITY ON THE BASIS OF THE FUNCTIONAL GROUPS. STUDENTS ARE MOTIVATED THROUGH A SERIES OF TESTS THROUGH WHICH TO CHECK THEIR PROGRESS, BY MEANS OF EXERCISES AND TASKS BOTH AT HOME AND DURING THE CLASSES.
IN A SECOND MODULE, THE THEORY AND METHODS OF PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ARE INTRODUCED.
IN A THIRD MODULE, THE STUDENT WILL APPLY BASIC METHODS OF PURIFICATIONS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS DURING LABORATORY PRACTICE.
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO RECOGNISE THE MOST COMMON FUNCTIONAL GROUPS, GIVE A NAME TO ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, PREDICT THE BASIC REACTIVITY OF SELECTED CLASSES OF ORGANIC MOLECULES AND THE BASIC MECHANISMS INVOLVED. FINALLY, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE THE PROPER METHOD FOR THE PURIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS.
Prerequisites
TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE CONTENT OF THE COURSE, IT IS NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE OF GENERAL AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY. TO ACCESS THE FINAL EXAMINATION, IT IS NECESSARY TO PASS THE “GENERAL AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY” EXAM.
Contents
MODULE A COMPRISES TEACHING LESSONS AND EXCERCISES (9 CFU) IN THE CLASSROOM. MODULE B IS ABOUT THE BASIC TECNIQUES FOR THE PURIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS. MODULE C IS LABORATORY PRACTICE, 75% ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY. AT THE END OF THE LABORATORY PRACTICE THE STUDENT HAS TO WRITE A SCIENTIFIC REPORT TO BE DELIVERED TO THE LABORATORY TUTOR.
MODULE A (80 H): STRUCTURE AND BONDING IN ORGANIC MOLECULES. ACIDS AND BASES. STEREOCHEMISTRY. SYSTEMATIC NOMENCLATURE, STRUCTURES, CHEMICAL-PHYSICS PROPERTIES AND REACTIVITY OF THE MOST COMMON CLASSES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS: ALKANES AND CYCLOALKANES, ALKENES, ALKYNES, ALKYL HALIDES, AROMATIC COMPOUNDS, ALCOHOLS AND TIOLS, ETHERS, EPOXYDES. INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIC SYNTHESIS.
MODULE B (16 H): BASIC TECHNIQUES OF PURIFICATION SUCH AS CRISTALLIZATION, ORGANIC SOLVENT EXTRACTION, DISTILLATION, SILICA-GEL CHROMATOGRAPHY, ION-CHROMATOGRAPHY, GEL-PERMEATION CHROMATOGRAPHY, GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY, HPLC.
MODULE C (12 H): PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES OF PURIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN THE LABORATORY (CRISTALLIZATION, LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION WITH SOLVENTS, SILICA-GEL PURIFICATION.
Teaching Methods
MODULES A AND B COMPRISE TEACHING LESSONS AND EXCERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM (96 H). MODULE C (12 H) IS LABORATORY PRACTICE, 75% ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY. DURING THE LABORATORY THE STUDENT WILL APPLY BASIC TECNIQUES TO PURIFY ORGANIC COMPOUNDS. AT THE END OF THE LABORATORY PRACTICE THE STUDENT HAS TO WRITE A SCIENTIFIC REPORT ON THE SYNTHESES PERFORMED IN THE LABORATORY TO BE DELIVERED TO THE LABORATORY TUTOR BEFORE ATTENDING THE EXAM.
Verification of learning
THE AIM OF THE FINAL EXAM IS TO CHECK THAT THE LEARNING OUTCOMES HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED.
THE STUDENT CAN BE EVALUATED ONLY AFTER HAVING DELIVERED THE REPORTS OF RESULTS ON THE EXPERIMENTAL WORK DONE IN THE LABORATORY MODULE.
DURING THE COURSE THERE WILL BE PARTIAL ASSESSMENTS TESTS IN ORDER TO EVALUATE THE KNOWLEDGE LEVEL GAINED BY THE STUDENTS. THERE WILL BE TWO WRITTEN TESTS DURING THE COURSE (120 MINUTES MAXIMUM TIME). THE WRITTEN TESTS WILL DEAL ABOUT NOMENCLATURE, REACTIVITY, AND SYNTHESIS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (MAXIMUM MARK: 23/30), PLUS PURIFICATION TECHNIQUES (MAXIMUM MARK: 7/30). THE FINAL GRADE WILL BE THE AVERAGE OF THE MARKS GAINED IN THE TWO WRITTEN TESTS. GENERAL MARK EQUAL OR HIGHER THAN 18/30 (A MARK IN THE PURIFICATION TECHNIQUES EQUAL OR HIGHER THAN 3/30 AND NO LESS THAN 15/30 ON MODULE A).
FOR THE STUDENTS WHO DIDN'T PASS THE PARTIAL TESTS, A FINAL WRITTEN EXAM IS REQUIRED. TO PASS THE EXAM A MINIMUM LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE IS REQUESTED ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPICS STUDIED DURING THE CLASSES. THE WRITTEN TESTS WILL DEAL ABOUT NOMENCLATURE, REACTIVITY, AND SYNTHESIS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (MAXIMUM MARK: 23/30), PLUS PURIFICATION TECHNIQUES (MAXIMUM MARK: 7/30). GENERAL MARK EQUAL OR HIGHER THAN 18/30 (A MARK IN THE PURIFICATION TECHNIQUES EQUAL OR HIGHER THAN 3/30 AND NO LESS THAN 15/30 ON MODULE A).
THE EXCELLENCE IS GAINED WHEN THE STUDENTS KNOW THE STUDIED SUBJECTS IN A DEEP AND CRITICAL WAY.
