Università Roma Tre

The course aims to provide students with the knowledge necessary to deeply understand chemical structures, physical properties, preparations, and typical reactivity of organic compounds throughout the study of the most common functional groups. The inherent target is to highlight the role and the effect of Organic Chemistry in Natural Sciences and modern technology with particular attention to biological and naturalistic aspects as well as to problems concerning pollution and environmental sustainability. In this area, the acquired knowledge will play a crucial role in the study of the other disciplines envisaged in the CdS (Biochemistry, Physiology, Genetics). At the end of the course, the students should develop the skill and expertise to (1) recognise and comprehend the structural and physical properties of organic compounds, (2) autonomously understand and analyse the reactivity of the main classes of biomolecules, (3) use a suitable technical-scientific language in order to clearly explain and present the acquired concepts as well as to disseminate ideas, information, and explanations.
