    • Introduction to the course

      Organic chemistry is a class of chemistry devoted to the study of carbon and its combinations : the structures, properties, reactions and preparation of compounds containing carbon.

      • General objectives


        At the outcome of this course, the student's targeted skills are as follows :


        -  In terms of knowledge :

        •  Identify and name the different families of organic compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines and amides.
        •  Use IUPAC naming  rules to correctly name complex organic molecules.
        •  Explain common reaction mechanisms such as substitution, addition, elimination reactions, and molecular rearrangements.

        - In terms of practical skills: :

        •  Produce mechanisms for obtaining different functions and the main reactions encountered in organic chemistry.
        •  Carry out simple organic syntheses in the laboratory using appropriate techniques.

        - In terms of attitudes/professional behavior :

        • Evaluate the experimental methods used, including the responsibl management of chemicals and waste, and compliance with safety protocols.

        • Pre-requisites




          To follow this course, students are recommended to know :

          •  Basic knowledge of carbon and chemical bonding.
          •  Fundamental concepts of chemistry, such as functional groups and acid-base reactions.
          •  Basic concepts of thermodynamics, chemical kinetics and atomic structure.

        • Chapter 1 : Generalities


          Chapter 1  " Generalities "  aims to :
          •     Identify key concepts such as sigma and pi bonds, atomic and molecular orbitals.
          •     Explain the differences between single, double and triple covalent bonds, using molecular models.
          •     Define the main terms used in organic chemistry, such as functional group and isomerism.
          •     Interpret the octet rules and the exceptions to these rules for carbon atoms.
          •     Apply IUPAC nomenclature rules to name saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
          •     Evaluate bonding models and test their validity.

        • Chapter 2 : Classification of organic functions


          Chapter 2 " Classification of organic functions "  aims to :

          • Identify and name the main classes of organic compounds.
          • Apply IUPAC nomenclature rules to correctly name complex organic compounds.
          • Analyse and evaluate the molecular structure to identify the present functional groups.

        • Chapter 3 : Concepts of stereoisomerism

          Chapter 3  " Concepts of stereoisomerism  " aims to :

          • Define stereoisomerism, chirality, and related key terms (e.g., enantiomers, diastereomers, meso compounds).
          • Explain the differences between structural isomerism and stereoisomerism.
          • Interpret the significance of optical activity and its measurement in chiral molecules.
          • Assign R/S and E/Z configurations to stereoisomers using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules.
          • Draw stereoisomers using appropriate projection methods (e.g., Fischer, Newman).
          • Evaluate how stereochemistry influences reaction outcomes, such as reactivity and selectivity in biological and industrial processes.

           

        • Chapter 4 : Electronic effects

          Chapter 4  " Electronic effects  " aims to :

          • Define key terms such as inductive effect, resonance effect, hyperconjugation, mesomeric effect, and electromeric effect.
          • Explain how electronic effects influence bond strength, reactivity, and stability in organic molecules.
          • Describe the role of electronic effects in determining acidic and basic properties of organic compounds.
          • Predict the effect of substituents on reactivity and orientation in electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions.
          • Apply electronic effects to explain the stability of carbocations, carbanions, and free radicals.
          • Evaluate the role of electronic effects in determining reaction rates and equilibrium positions.


        • Chapter 5 : The main reactions in organic chemistry

          Chapter 5  " The main reactions in organic chemistry  " aims to :

          • Define the fundamental types of organic reactions: substitution, addition, elimination, and rearrangement.
          • Explain the differences between SN1 and SN2, as well as E1 and E2 reaction mechanisms.
          • Describe the role of electrophiles, nucleophiles, and reaction intermediates (e.g., carbocations, carbanions, and free radicals).
          • Predict the major products of a given organic reaction based on the mechanism.
          • Design synthetic pathways for complex organic molecules using multiple reaction steps.
