Class Organic Chemistry

In this CU solid notions of reactivity and of the necessary skills for the elaboration of the mechanisms associated to the reactions involved in the different classes of compounds taught, will be acquired. The importance of the area of organic synthesis will also be addressed and skills will be acquired to understand the interconversions of functional groups and the relevance of this theme in natural products. Fundamental capacities for conducting laboratory reactions, will also be acquired and to understand the motives associated with performing certain practical procedures in the execution of reactions, treatment of reaction media, and the isolation and purification of organic compounds. This Curricular Unit (CU) is fundamental within the studies' cycle in which it is inserted, as it allows the acquisition of basic knowledge in the area of organic chemistry and which is essential for the natural products area.

The teaching includes several tools, based on presential teaching, (theoretical, theoretical-practical and laboratorial classes) and other non-presential tools (e.g. moodle). In the tutorial component, fundamental concepts of the program are detailed studied by performing representative reactions, learning experimental techniques used in Organic Chemistry, and solving pre-announced problems. The evaluation is made by continuous assessment or by final exam. Continuous assessment comprises: (A) 3 written test (60%); (B) Class performance/performance in exercises, presentations, notebook, report and participation (40%). Final grade = A (60%) + B (40%). The student worker who chooses the continuous assessment must meet the requirements defined above. Assessment by final exam covers the entire syllabus (written and laboratory tests). Grade improvement can be attained by oral examination covering the entire syllabus.
