Topic Sub-topic
1. Chemical structure and chemical bonding in organic molecules Lewis Structures. Resonance Structures. Atomic and hybrid orbitals. Chemical structure and bonding on methane, ethene and ethyne.
2. Organic reactions Characteristics of the organic compounds. Types of reaction Mechanisms. Types of reagents: acids and bases, oxidants and reductors, electrophilicity and nucleophilicity. Classification of the Organic reactions. Thermodynamic and kinetic features of Organic Reactions. Kinetic and thermodynamic control. Reaction intermediates.
3. Alkanes and cycloalkanes. Reactions Physical properties. n-Alkanes: Rotational barriers. Conformational isomerism. Cycloakanes: ring strain.
4. Stereochemistry Optical activity. Chirality and enantiomers. Nomenclature. Diasteroisomers. Stereoisomerism in cyclic molecules.
5. NMR Spectroscopy Basic principles of the NMR. The most important nuclei studied in Organic Chemistry. The chemical shift, Spin-spin coupling: N+1 rule. Identification of Organic functional groups by NMR.
6. Reactions of Alkanes. Halogenation. Pyrolisis. Combustion. Cracking.
7. Alkyl Halides Chemical structure and properties. Nucleophilic substition reactions (SN). Factors determining the SN mechanisms: substrate (structure of the alkyl group and nature of the leaving group, nucleophilicity of the reagent and solvent effects.
