Educational objectives Knowledge of nomenclature and reactivity of gcarboxyl derivtives, carbonyl derivatives, aromatic compounds, heterocycles, amines, carbohydrates, amino acids and proteins, including stereochemical aspects. Being able to apply the acquired principles to the study of molecules of biochemical and pharmaceutical interest.
Prerequisites The student should be familiar with the basic notions of general chemistry (inorganic and organic), in particular must have passed the exam of General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry I
Teaching methods Frontal lectures where the professor will present all the topics of the course, introducing some exercises as example
Other information Extra exercises will be provided during the course, at the end of the course and before the summer session. Before the other sections, the teacher and the integrative teaching staff will be available to provide students clarification and explanation.
Learning verification modality The student will be graded through a written and oral test. The student will be asked to provide the correct nomenclature and configuration of organic molecules and to resolve exercises using notions he has learned on synthesis and reactivity. Changes in grading may be applied according to the COVID pandemic situation
