Summary

The first four sessions are dedicated to basic purification techniques (selective extractions, recrystallisation, distillation, and chromatography). The following seven practical work sessions also include a synthesis portion, and increase in difficulty (temperature control, exotherm control, and work in an inert atmosphere). Finally, an individual practical exam is used to verify that students have mastered the knowledge and techniques to be acquired.

Educational goals

- Acquire the theory and reflexes for fundamental techniques used in organic chemistry laboratories (synthesis, purification and analysis). - Be aware of the risks associated with the handling of organic chemicals and safety instructions. - Compare the reactions described on paper with practical reality, connect chemical structures to their properties, chemical mechanisms to products and by-products.

Continuous Assessment
Comments: Each practical work session in pairs receives a continuous assessment mark (for preparatory questions and reports). There is also an individual practical work session, marked in person by teachers who focus on assessing students' reflexes and application when following a protocol known in advance but not carried out beforehand (a specific case).

Pedagogy

Students work in groups of two or three with fume hoods. Preparatory questions for the sessions are requested.

Summary

This course is dedicated to the acquisition of knowledge regarding the conventional representation of organic molecules and the reactivity and mechanisms involved in monofunctional molecules. Alkanes (stability of radicals, cracking, halogenations). Alkenes (hydrogenation, electrophilic additions, oxidation, polymerisation). Alkynes (concept of true alkynes, reactivity of alkynyls, hydrogenation and chemical reduction of alkynes, oxidation, electrophilic additions). Alcohols and halogenoalkanes (nucleophilic substitution reactions and elimination). Organomagnetic compounds (preparation, reaction on multiple C-heteroatom bonds). Aromatic derivatives (electrophilic and nucleophilic substitutions). Carbonyl derivatives (nomenclature, preparation, keto-enol balance, reactions on the carbonyl function, reactions on alpha carbon). Amines (nomenclature, preparation and reactivity). Acids and derivatives (nomenclature, preparation and reactivity) Industrial organic chemistry: Teach students the basic scientific and technological knowledge of the major processes of industrial organic chemistry as well as polymer materials.

Educational goals

This course is the continuation of the course entitled "Introduction to organic chemistry" in the first year of the integrated preparatory programme (CPI1) and connects the structural chemistry fundamentals acquired in the first year to the reactivity of organic molecules. At the end of the second year of the integrated preparatory programme (CPI2A), students must master all the conventional representations of organic molecules and know the physico-chemical properties of the main organic functions. Using these tools, they must be able to predict the reactivity of a monofunctional organic molecule to common reagents and describe the simple mechanisms involved in the reactions taught.

Summary

The quantum model of the atom and molecules are described with the aim of understanding reactivity in organic chemistry through molecular orbitals, as part of the approximation of frontier orbitals. The architecture of crystalline solids is described for the typical structures of metallic, ionic, covalent and macro-covalent crystals. Geometric crystallography and X-ray crystallography fundamentals are discussed. A portion of the course is dedicated to chemical and electrical energies with a particular focus on conversion and storage. It is divided into thermodynamics and the kinetics of oxidoreductase reactions.

Educational goals

Quantum modelling and reactivity: - Know how to build atomic and molecular orbitals for simple cases; - Know how to interpret a diagram of molecular orbitals obtained from fragment orbitals; - Identify frontier orbitals and predict the reactivity of an entity. Coordination chemistry: - Know the nomenclature and know how to construct molecular orbital diagrams of transition metal complexes; - Identify the Pi effects; - Interpret the steps of a catalytic cycle. Crystalline solids: - Know how to describe a perfect crystal; - Know the typical structures of metals, an interstitial or substitutional alloy; - Know how to reconstitute a crystal from crystallographic parameters; - Predict ionic structures; - Connect macroscopic properties to the different types of bonds in crystals. - Apply Bragg's law. Thermodynamics of oxidoreductase reactions - Determine standard reaction values by studying batteries (relationship between chemical affinity and Nernst potentials, relationship between standard free enthalpy and standard potentials, thermodynamic approach to the workings of electrochemical batteries, irreversibility and maximum recoverable electrical work) Kinetics of oxidation-reduction reactions - Understand and use current-potential curves, study of spontaneous and forced transformations, corrosion

But it is also the time to explore new domains (counting, probabilities and random discrete and continuous variables), series (numerical, functions, power, Fourier), and euclidean spaces (orthogonal and symmetrical endomorphisms).

Summary

Providing an environment where students can practice language skills and learn more about English-speaking civilisations, the English course for the second-year preparatory class aims to cultivate the pleasure students take in speaking a foreign language and to develop an essential communication tool for their future professional setting.

Educational goals

From a technical point of view, the objective of teaching English in the preparatory programme is to develop students' autonomy in the areas of oral, personal and interactive expression, oral comprehension, and written expression and comprehension. The course activities are also designed to encourage reflection, broader general and scientific culture, and spark discussion or debate based on current events.

Pedagogy

Students are divided into groups based on their level. Classwork is collaborative: each student works with their partner (pairwork), or with other students within a larger group (for example for debates or for working on projects). This promotes exchanges, communication and the confrontation of ideas. The work increases in complexity, starting with simple and short tasks at the start of a theme and ending with assignments developed towards the end of the theme that require reviewing lessons learned at the beginning of the course. The themes covered in the second year of the preparatory cycle are "City and Urban Life", "Beauty", "Crime, Law and Order" and "Advertising". A variety of support materials are submitted to students: videos, texts from the press, recordings, PowerPoints, grammar and vocabulary exercises, etc. Reviews of and in-depth lessons on grammar are incorporated into the activities. Particular attention is paid to the acquisition of precise vocabulary related to the themes studied.

Summary

In accordance with Special Official Report no. 3 of 30 May 2013, the teaching of foreign languages in the first and second years of the integrated preparatory programme (CPI) aims to "preserve and even develop lessons learned in secondary education" and "remain open to modern multilingualism".

Educational goals

Objectives: - Consolidate the language and cultural skills acquired during secondary education; - Help students to gain a higher level of written and oral comprehension and expression; - Acquire cultural references essential to understanding the civilisation and culture of foreign countries, in order to shed light on contemporary situations. Skills developed: - Understanding the precise meaning of various types of texts from different sources that are relatively long and complex and relate more to contemporary issues directly related to the language studied, understanding their content, structure and function (informative, argumentative, explanatory, etc.), and grasping the issues at stake; - Understanding a native speaker talking clearly at a normal pace and making an argument ᅵ even a complex one ᅵ on a general subject related to the linguistic domain concerned (authentic documents, audio recordings or videos); - Speaking easily and authentically with proper grammar, and expressing a nuanced point of view; - Participating in a conversation with ease and spontaneity; - Writing correctly and in a clear, detailed and structured manner on various subjects. - Presenting an argument and giving an opinion while respecting the specific codes and registers of the written language.
