Learning Objectives
The aim of the course is to provide to the students the knowledge of the functional groups of the organic molecules, studying their properties, formation and reactivity, through the study of the main mechanisms, to demonstrate the chemical reactions analyzed.
Program
1) STRUCTURE OF ORGANIC MOLECULES
Atomic orbitals, electronic configuration of atoms; the chemical bond. Hybridization: sp3, sp2 and sp orbitals: single, double and triple bonds. Electronegativity and polarity. The resonance. Acids and bases. Intermolecular bonds.
2) ALKANES AND CYCLOALKANES
Introduction to the organic chemistry as the chemistry of the carbon. Tetravalent carbon and use of molecular models. Nomenclature. Single, double and triple bonds. Structure of alkanes and cycloalkanes. Structural, brute, condensed and skeletal formulas. Structural and configurational isomers. Conformers: Newman and perspective projections. Physical properties. Reactivity: halogenation and combustion.
3)ORGANIC REACTIONS
Introduction of functional groups as a substrate for the organic reactions. Classification of organic reactions: addition, elimination, substitution. Main reagents: acids and bases according to Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis; nucleophiles and electrophiles. Inductive and conjugative effects. Limit structures of resonance.
4) ALKENES AND ALKYNES
Nomenclature. Geometric cis and trans isomerization. Rules of CIP. Nomenclature E and Z. Physical properties and acidity. Methods of preparation. Electrophilic addition (Markovnikov reactions). Main electrophilic addition reactions. Redox reactions.
5) STEREOCHEMISTRY
Stereocenter. Fisher formulas and their use. R and S absolute configuration and relative d and l. Enantiomers. Diastereomers, optical rotation.
6) ALKYL HALIDES
Nomenclature. Preparation. Main reactions: the Grignard reagents, SN1 and SN2, E1 and E2 reactions.
7) ACOHOLS
Nomenclature, physical properties, preparation, chemical properties: acidity and basicity, reactivity: nucleophilic substitution, elimination, redox.
8) ALDEHYDES AND KETONES
Carbonyl group. Nomenclature. Methods of preparation. Physical properties. Nucleophilic addition reactions. Redox reactions. Reactions on the carbon in alpha position: tautomerism and aldolic condensation.
9) CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND THEIR DERIVATIVES
Nomenclature. Preparation. Physical properties. Acidity. Esters: nomenclature, preparation and properties. Saponification. Fatty acids. Nomenclature of carboxylic acid derivatives. Physical properties. Addition-elimination mechanism (SNA). Reactivity of derivatives. Acidic chlorides. Anhydrides. Amides. Esters. Claisen condensation. Polyfunctional compounds of biochemical interest. Decarboxylation.

Bridging Courses
-General and inorganic chemistry
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
The student will have to demonstrate its mastery of basic knowledge about the general chemistry.
The student must show knowledge and understanding of organic reactions required to produce synthetic processes of relatively complex molecules.
The student must show to apply their knowledge, understanding and skills in solving problems related to the behavior of organic substances.
The student will be able to communicate clearly with a correct and appropriate chemical language his conclusions.
The student will have developed learning skills that will enable him to continue studying in a self-directed or autonomous way.
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
Supporting Activities
Teaching material will be available on the Blended Learning platform on the website of Urbino University. The supporting activity foresees ten hours of exercises.

The teacher will furnish further informations about the didactic supplies, during the course.
- Assessment
Written examination, with 5 or 6 exercises. If the student will get a mark of 18/30 or more, he can do the oral examination to better define the final mark.
- Disabilità e DSA
Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
Additional Information for Non-Attending Students
- Teaching
Non-attending students will be provided with the teaching material used in lesson. The teacher will be available by phone or email for any clarification regarding the program.
