Università Roma Tre

Module II: Organic compounds. Composition, structure and spatial representation.
Isomerism and stereoisomeries. Resonance and electronic effects.
The functional groups: structure, nomenclature and chemical-physical properties of alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, arenes, halides, alcohols, amines, imines, phenols, aldehydes and ketones, acids, esters, amides, imides and nitriles.
Main hydrocarbon reactions: combustion and reduction, electrophilic addition to alkenes, dienes and alkynes; notes on electrophilic aromatic substitution.
Organic reactions of alcohols and halogen alkanes: sp3 carbon substitution and elimination; oxidations and reductions.
Nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl and nucleophilic acyl substitution. Enolated and their condensations.
Bi-and polyfunctional molecules: dicarboxylic acids, hydroxy acids, enonic systems, triglycerides, carbohydrates and amino acids. Homo- and hetero-aromatic compounds.
