Description
The aim of the course is to give students a better understanding of the reactivity of the main chemical functions, based on their chemical properties (acid/base, electrophile/nucleophile, hard/soft, oxidizing/reducing). Particular attention will be paid to reaction mechanisms and the reaction intermediates involved (radicals, carbocations and carbanions).
Targeted knowledge and skills:
- know the main organic chemistry functions, their physico-chemical properties and the main reactions associated with them
- correctly represent an organic molecule, taking into account its stereochemistry
- be able to determine the single or multiple reactivity of a molecule
- understand the reaction mechanisms involved and be able to describe them in accordance with writing conventions.
- predict the structure of a reaction product as a function of the reagents and conditions employed
- modify the functional properties of an organic molecule.
