Provide students with a basic training in Organic Chemistry

Prerequisites

No special requests on the area.

Basic knowledge of Chemistry.

Subject matter

Organic structures: molecules representation, functional groups, systematic nomenclature atomic and molecular orbitals, hibridization. Delocalization and conjugated systems: Resonance, conjugated dienes, carbonlys, a,b-insaturation, alilic systems and aromaticity. Organic reactions squematization. Reactional profiles: Thermodynamics and kinetics. Acidity and basicity. Nucleofilicity and electrofilicity.Carbonyl group chemistry: nucleofile substitution at the carbonyl carbon, conjugated addition vs. direct adition to carbonyl carbon. Stereochemistry: chirality, CIP rules, diastereomers and enantiomers. Conformational analysys: conformation of linear and cyclic compounds.

Teaching method

Theoretical-practical classes (3 h)

Laboratory (1,5h)

Evaluation method

According to the FCT/UNL Assessment Regulations, the Course of Organic Chemistry I have the following evaluation components:

It is required to obtain the frequency of the course, which requires the achievement of three practical laboratory sessions and participation in 2/3 of the theoretical-practical sessions.

Ongoing assessment involves performing two tests, the exercises or the short tests of theoretical-practical sessions and laboratory sessions. The two tests and the exercises or the short tests of theoretical-practical sessions  may be replaced by a final exam, in appropriate cases, but the other portions of the assessment will stand.
The final evaluation results from the application of the following calculation formula:
(average of two test  scores x 0.4 + score average in TP sessions x 0.3) (or final exam score)* + score from the practice sessions** x 0.3 = final score (should be greater than or equal to 9.5 for course approval)


* = The average grade obtained in the two tests or in the final exam will have to be compulsorily equal to 9.5 or greater than 9.5.

**= The score obtained in laboratory sessions will have to be compulsorily equal to 9.5 or greater than 9.5
Note: Students have purchased in previous years frequency component theoretical-practical and laboratory replaced by the recorded score, it will have a total weight of 0.3 in the final formule.
The maximum of allowed absences is stipulated by law.
