3 - Hydrocarbons: structure, physical properties, nomenclature and reactivity
3.1 Alkanes. Homolytic substitution. 3.2 Cycloalkanes. 3.3 Alkenes and alkynes. Electrophilic addition. 3.4 Aromatic hydrocarbons. Electrophilic substitution.
4 - Structure, nomenclature, properties and reactivity of the major groups of organic compounds
4.1 Alcohols, phenols, ethers and thiols. Substitution and elimination reactions. 4.2 mines. Hoffmann elimination. 4.3 Aldehydes and ketones. Addition and substitution reactions. Keto - enol tautomerism. 4.4 Carboxylic acids and derivative functions. Nucleophilic substitution by addition-elimination.
Laboratorial practice
