Main themes
This course aims to introduce the fundamentals of organic chemistry and illustrates its key role in everyday life, materials science (polymers and organic materials), and life sciences (biopolymers, biochemistry, and biomaterials).
The topics covered are as follows:
The topics covered are as follows:
- Fundamental concepts required for a good understanding of the structure and reactivity of organic molecules and macromolecules.
- The chemical behavior of the main families of organic compounds, illustrating the relationships between the structure of a functional group, its properties, and its reactivity.
- Organic biological and synthetic materials: from chemistry to functional properties.
- Introduction to the fundamental concepts of green chemistry and sustainable approaches to materials synthesis.

Content
Fundamental concepts
- Structure, bonds, and geometry of organic molecules; isomerism.
- Categories of reagents; electronic effects; reaction intermediates.
- Alkenes, halogenated compounds, alcohols, thiols, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and derivatives, amines and derivatives.
- Sugars, lipids, amino acids, peptides, and proteins, nucleic acids.
- Structure and biological functions of these molecules.
- Examples of key organic reactions in metabolism.
- Introduction to organic polymer synthesis.
- Introduction to the fundamental concepts of green chemistry and sustainable approaches
Teaching methods
The course is based on lectures, exercise sessions, and practical work or classroom demonstrations.
Evaluation methods
Students are individually assessed through a written exam based on the learning outcomes described above. The questions will focus on their knowledge, understanding, and ability to apply the concepts covered in class and during APE and TP sessions. A midterm test will be administered and may result in the awarding of bonus points (valid for all exam sessions) for the written exam that will take place during the exam period.
Online resources
The slides presented in class, as well as the assignments for the exercise and lab sessions, are available on the Moodle course website
