To confer the students basic/introductory theoretical concepts in Organic Chemistry.
By the end of the course, the student should have acquired and understood basic concepts in Organic Chemistry. Briefly, the student should have acquired competences in
1) identification of the main functional groups in organic compounds and how those groups affect compounds' physical and chemical properties;
2) basic organic nomenclature and stereochemistry;
3) recognizing main types of organic chemical reactions, their relevant intermediates and pathways;
4) establishing basic structure-reactivity relationships.

LECTURES (28 h)
The program to be addressed in lectures will cover the topics of chapters 1 to 9 of the adopted book:
PART 1 – CARBON: INTEGRATED REVIEW OF FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS IN CHEMISTRY
1. Atoms. Connection between electronic configuration and reactivity.
2. Chemical bonding. Lewis structure and the octet rule.
PART 2 – ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
3. Saturated hydrocarbons. Isomers and stereoisomers.
4. Unsaturated hydrocarbons.
5. Alcohols, Phenols and their sulfur analogues.
6. Aldehydes and ketones.
7. Carboxylic acids and derivatives.
8. Amines and amides.
9. Organic stereochemistry in depth.
TUTORIALS (28 h)
In the 2015/16 course, this part of the programme will be exclusively devoted to tutorials, aimed at guiding students in the resolution of questions, quizzes and problems related with the organic chemistry concepts addressed in the lectures.
Lectures will follow a standard magisterial model, supported by multimedia tools.
All relevant info, teacher-student communication and course management will be made through the Moodle electronic platform.
Practical sessions will basically consist in tutorials for guided resolution of quizzes and problems related to topics addressed in lectures.

The general rules of FCUP will be applied. It must be stressed that students having missed over 25% of the tutorials will not be approved.
Students not excluded from final evaluation will be given a final classification that will correspond to the average of classifications obtained at each individual evaluation test. Only those students who score an average equal or higher than 9.5 (0 to 20 scale), and who did not have a classification inferior to 5 (0 to 20 scale) in any of the individual tests will be APPROVED.
All students who fail to be approved according to the above rules will be allowed to take a resit examination covering all subjects addressed in this course. The final classification of these students will be the mark obtained in the resit examination.
Students who wish to raise their final grade may also take the resit examination. In this case, the final grade will be the best obtained (tests versus resit examination).
