Course Objectives
The course provides the knowledge to understand basic organic chemistry and the main organic reactions, organized by classes of compounds, through the recognition of functional groups.
The goal is to predict the rectivity of simple organic molecules, through logical steps, describing the transformations of functional groups through the formalism of the curved arrows and formal charges (Reaction Mechanisms). Polyfunctional molecules, such as mono-, oligo-saccharides, glycosides, amino acids and oligopeptides are considered as well.
The course also provides the basic elements to predict the three-dimensional shape of organic molecules (Organic Stereochemistry).

Teaching Methods
Lecturing activities and problem-solving small groups and tutorials. Flipped Classrooms.
For students with specific needs who are unable to attend in-person teaching activities and have applied for Inclusive Teaching Methods, suitable materials for independent study will be provided. These materials may include video recordings. If requested, self-learning support will be available through supplementary tutoring activities and dedicated meetings, which can be held online and scheduled flexibly based on individual needs.

Assessment Methods
The written exam is made by 15 questions (2 points for 13 questions + 3 points for 2 more challanging tests) on the theoretical aspects of the course, with particular emphasis on the reactivity of the functional groups embedded in organic molecules involved in bio-transformations.
