This course is intended to demonstrate the main transformations of carbon compounds, and demonstrate their influence on the Molecular Biology and Chemistry of the Environment. Thus, Its main objectives are:
- The study of three-dimensional structure of the main classes of carbon compounds;
- The relationship between chemistry, molecular biology and the environment through case study examples.
Rationalize living systems based on general principles of chemistry. Presenting the organic chemistry as a subset of Chemistry.
The following are the topics that are to be addressed in lectures and theoretical practices this discipline:
1 - Introduction to Organic Chemistry.
2 - Structural Chemistry. Study of the three-dimensional structure of the major classes of compounds of carbon. Models of chemical bonding.
3 - Stereoisomerism and molecular conformation.
4 - Structure and Reactivity of carbon compounds. Effects inductive and resonance or mesomeric. Relocation of the chemical bond (resonance structures and the resonance hybrid). Nucleophiles and electrophiles. Reactive Intermediates: free radicals, carbocations and carbanions.
5 - Saturated hydrocarbons: alkanes and cyclo-alkanes. Physical and chemical properties; Some reactions characteristics. Mechanism halogenation reactions (free radicals). CFC (s) and its importance in the chemistry of the atmosphere.
6 - Unsaturated Hydrocarbons: Alkenes. Physical and chemical properties; Addition reactions.
7 - aromatic compounds. Resonance energy. Reactions characteristics. Its importance in the environment.
8 - Compounds containing functional groups (containing alcohols, phenols, amines, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and derivatives); Physical and chemical properties;Representative examples and their biological importance and in the environment.
9- Main classes of biological macromolecules.
Practical (laboratory)
Will be performed 4 laboratory works .
P1- Introduction to glassware: your specifications and handling.
P2- Extraction and solubility of benzoic acid.
P3- Pigments antocianínicos. UV-Vis
P4/P5- Analysis of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) - Comparison of two purification methods of the Chlorophenols.
P6- Discussion of the results/reports presented.
Lectures taught using PowerPoint presentations. Theoretical and practical problem solving and discussion of theoretical aspects concerning the practical classes. Practical classes to perform laboratory work in groups of two or three students, following a written protocol.

Admission to the examination is made by the attendance of at least 3/4 of the classes, theoretical and practical.
Continuous Assessment Classification (CAC)
To be evaluated , each student must:
- Deliver at least three quarters of the reports of laboratory classes (group work);
- Doing at least 3/4 of the mini-tests in theoretical-practical classes;
- Respond to questions from the teacher in practical classes and theoretical-practical classes .
At the end of the curricular unit, these works will be evaluated and the final average obtained corresponds to Continuous Assessment Classification. This classification will be published before the exam and will be part of the Final Grade.
The final exam consists of a written test and an oral test. Will be exempted from the oral test, the students who obtain at least ten in the written exam.Will not be admitted to this oral test, and therefore disapproved, students who obtain a score on the exam less than 8.
The final classification (F) will be the sum of the classification obtained in the Exam (CE) and Continuous Assessment Classification (CAC), according to the formula: F (CE*0,75 + CAC)
