Organic Chemistry II

Recommended Prerequisites

Frequency and approval in the discipline of Organic Chemistry I.

Knowledge of organic chemistry, acquired in the discipline of Organic Chemistry I.

Knowledge of English.

Teaching Methods

​

The theoretical classes will be taught by the projection of slides, which are then placed on the platform nónio.

The theoretical-practical classes will be taught by projection of slides and with the active participation of students in problem solving, individually or in groups.

The practical-laboratory classes will be taught through oral presentations by groups of students, as well as by the practical execution of these works.

Learning Outcomes

To know the basics of spectroscopic methods, to interpret their spectra and utilize the information obtained in the identification and structural elucidation of organic compounds.

Classifying the organic compounds and assign its nomenclature in the IUPAC system.

Interpreting the reactivity of organic molecules.

Classifying the organic reactions: addition and electrophilic substitution, elimination, transposition, addition and nucleophilic substitution, addition and radical substitution.

Describe and explain the mechanisms of organic reactions.

To characterize the structural aspects that influence the reactivity.

To indicate the physical properties of organic compounds.

To predict and classify the behavior of chemical compounds belonging to the chemical groups more representatives.

Planning chemical syntheses; using suitable protecting groups for various functional groups and judiciously choosing selective reaction conditions.

To execute small laboratory chemical syntheses.
