Educational objectives

Module: Organic Chemistry

The course is aimed to give equal weight to three fundamental aspects of the study of organic chemistry: reactions, mechanisms and structure. The organization is based on reaction types, so the student can be shown that the despite the large number of organic reactions, a relatively few principles suffice to explain nearly all of them. In addition, the student should have some familiarity with the literature of organic chemistry. The course is specifically tailored to enology students to understand the fundamental processes of biochemistry.
