Prerequisites
It is appropriate to have approved the subjects “Reactivitat Química” and "Enllaç Químic i Estructura de la Matèria”.
Objectives and Contextualisation
Organic Chemistry studies the reactivity of carbon and systematizes the properties of the compounds that contain it. Basic ideas about the characteristics and reactivity of the different functional groups are given, as well as the conformational analysis and the stereochemistry of organic compounds.
The objectives are:
1. Identify the functional groups and name and formulate the corresponding compounds.
2. Draw Lewis structures of organic chemical compounds and qualitatively predict their molecular properties from them (molecular geometry and polarity).
3. Describe the conformational isomerism in alkanes and cycloalkanes.
4. Determine and represent the configuration of the stereogenic centers in organic compounds.
5. Describe the basics of organic reactions.
6. Resolve basic problems of organic chemistry.
Learning Outcomes
- CM13 (Competence) Apply chemical knowledge to solve quantitative and qualitative problems, using bibliographic sources when necessary.
- CM14 (Competence) Work collaboratively to plan and organise the basic tasks carried out in a physicochemical analysis laboratory.
- CM15 (Competence) Handle chemical products and wastes while taking their impact on safety and the environment into account.
- KM21 (Knowledge) Recognise the most common functional groups within organic molecules, the nomenclature and formulation, stereochemical aspects and three-dimensional representation.
- KM22 (Knowledge) Describe the structure and reactivity of organic compounds.
- SM23 (Skill) Identify the properties and applications of the main organic and inorganic compounds.
Content
1. Introduction (Lewis structures, resonance, coordinates and reaction profile).

6. Aldehydes and ketones (The carbonyl group: structure and properties, obtaining aldehydes and ketones, reactions of oxidation, reduction and addition, keto-enol tautomerism).
7. Carboxylic acids and derivatives (Electronic structure, acidic character, physical properties, obtaining, derivatives, esters, lactones).
8. Nitrogen derivatives (Amines, properties, obtaining, ammonium salts).
9. Diens, polyens and benzene (Electronic structure, benzene-aromaticity, aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic electrophilic substitution).
10. Benzene derivatives (Ring reactions, effect of substituents, nitrogen derivatives, phenols).

Theory classes
The student acquires the own knowledge of the subject attending the classes of theory that will complement with the individualized study.
Problems classes
The student consolidates the knowledge acquired in theory classes by solving problems. A dossier of exercises will be delivered that will have to be resolved throughout the course. A selected part of these exercises will be solved by problem teachers so that students learn the appropriate methodology to find the solutions. During this process, students' participation will be important. Teachers will help to develop the critical sense and logical reasoning, in order to increase the ability of students to solve problems.
Classes of Practices
The laboratory classes focus on the learning of the basic techniques and to familiarize the student with the conditions of security that manipulation of chemical products requires. In order to be able to attend the sessions of laboratory practices, the student must justify having passed the security tests that will be found in the Virtual Campus and be aware of, and accept, the rules of operation of the laboratories of the Faculty.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laboratory Module | 20 | 4 | 0.16 | CM14, CM15, KM21, KM22, SM23 |
| Module of partial written tests and examination of recovery | 30% (first writen test) + 40% (second writen test) | 6 | 0.24 | CM13, KM21, KM22, SM23 |
| Work of molecular naming and drawing | 10% | 1 | 0.04 | CM13, KM21, KM22 |
"Continued evaluation"
The continuous evaluation of skills is organized in 3 modules, each of which will be assigned a specific weight in the final qualification:
- Written work module: the learning and use of a free nomenclature and molecular drawing program will be assessed with an individual work. This module will have an overall weight of 10%.
- Laboratory module: the student's performance in the laboratory will be evaluated and an exam will be taken with an overall weight of 20%.
- Written partial tests module: it will consist of two partial tests with a weight of 30% the first, and 40% the second.
In order to pass the subject, you must get at least 4 points out of 10 in each of the two written partial tests, the nomenclature work and the laboratory practices. The subject will be considered passed when the average of the modules is equal to or higher than 5 points out of 10.
- Students who do not pass the first and/or the second partial exam may take a make-up exam after the second partial exam. In order to make this recovery, the student is obliged to appear in the two partial exams.
- Students who do not finally obtain the minimum qualification required to pass each of the tests in the written partial tests module or the minimum qualification to pass the written assignments module or the Laboratory module, will not pass the subject. In this case, the maximum final grade will be 4.
-From the second registration of the subject, the student will not need to complete the written work module or the laboratory module if he/she achieved the skills of this part of the subject in the previous year.
A student will obtain the grade of Non-Evaluable when the number of assessment activities carried out is less than 50% of those scheduled for the subject (the assignment, the two exams and the four practice sessions).
"Unique Assessment"
Students who have accepted the single assessment modality will have to take a "final test", a "Written Work" and a "practice exam". The final test will consist of a theory and problems exam where they will have to solve a series of exercises similar to those worked on in the Classroom Practice sessions. When they have finished, they will hand in the report of the "Written assignments" module that will have been submitted online at some point during the course. The Laboratory Practice exam will take place on the last day of the practice period together with the Continuous Assessment students.
In order to pass the subject, they must get at least 4 points out of 10 in each of the three previous activities.
The student's grade will be the weighted average of the three activities, where the theory and problems exam will account for 70% of the grade, the Laboratory Practice exam 20% and the report from the Written Assignments module the 10%.
If the final grade does not reach 5, the student has another opportunity to pass the subject through the recovery exam that will be held on the date set by the Degree coordinator.
From the second registration of the subject, the student will not need to complete the written work module or the laboratory module if he/she achieved the skills of this part of the subject in the previous year.
