Summary
In this chemistry module, students should be introduced to the different aspects of chemistry, all of which can assist them in interpreting and understanding chemical phenomena. The chemistry lessons covered during the first year of the integrated preparatory programme (abbreviated CPI in the French education system) are divided into three complementary modules: General chemistry, general chemistry practical work, and introduction to organic chemistry. In this section, INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (20 hours of lectures ￜ twelve hours of tutorials) consists of the introduction to organic synthesis. The nomenclature of the compounds studied is given. The programme therefore covered during this first year will consist of introducing, understanding and mastering the electronic structure of molecules (the Lewis structure and wave model), the electronic effects in molecules (the inductive effect and mesomeric effect), acids and bases in organic chemistry, aromaticity (Hￜckel's Rule and conjugation), the structure of organic molecules (molecular formula and line formula), conformational analysis (Newman projection, cyclohexane chair and boat), stereoisomerism (absolute configuration, chirality, Cahn-Ingold Prelog rule).
Educational goals
The general learning objectives for the introduction to organic chemistry are as follows: - Master the fundamental concepts relating to the characteristics of bonds: hybridisation, atomic and molecular orbitals, resonance, aromaticity, etc. - Understand and be able to predict the relationships between a molecule's structure and properties: acidity, reactivity; - Represent a molecule based on its name, provided in a systematic nomenclature, taking into account the data of any stereochemical information, using a given type of representation; - Assign stereochemical descriptors to stereogenic centres; - Determine the isomerism relationship between two structures; - Compare the stability of several conformations; - Interpret the stability of a given conformer.
