It is recommended to have studied the subject Chemistry of the basic module and to have registered the subject Organic Chemistry II.
The subject of Organic Chemistry is included in the module of Fundamentals of Chemistry in the Degree of Chemistry. It is designed to develop the concepts and fundamental data of Organic Chemistry, to show the experimental evidence that supports these concepts, to apply these data and concepts to the resolution of chemical problems and to demonstrate that this subject evolves rapidly and that it plays a key role in modern technological developments in very diverse fields, from biology to materials science, influencing in a fundamental way all aspects of daily life.
The subject Organic Chemistry I is compulsory, annual and corresponds to the second year of the degree in which the foundations of the different areas of Chemistry are initiated. The subject consists of 9 credits, of which 6 are theoretical and are studied in the first semester, and the remaining three are practical, being studied in the second semester. It is the first subject of Organic Chemsitry, and it deals with the basic concepts that will be extended in the subjects Organic Chemistry II, Organic Chemistry III and Extension of Organic Chemistry.
