The course focuses on the fundamental chemistry of carbon compounds and an appreciation of its relevance to biology and toxicology. Topics will include nomenclature, structure, properties, synthesis, and reactions, of the major functional groups of organic compounds.
The fundamental objective is to stimulate the student to apply his reasoning skills in the study of matter, limiting the mnemonic effort to the learning of a restricted set of the basic principles of Organic Chemistry.
FRONTAL LESSONS
The lectures for this course will be a combination of classic blackboard lectures and PowerPoint.
