Description

The aim of the course is to provide training in descriptive organic chemistry. The main organic functions (unsaturated hydrocarbons, halogenated derivatives, alcohols and carbonyl derivatives) will be studied, along with the reactivity specific to each of them. In particular, this course will focus on the chemical transformation of functional groups via the breaking or creation of specific bonds. In some cases, an introduction to reaction mechanisms will be provided.
The course will be illustrated by specific examples and exercises to help you better understand the reactivity of compounds towards electrophilic (additions and substitutions), nucleophilic (additions, substitutions and eliminations) or radical species.
