The Carboxylic Acid Derivatives are studied in this chapter: the Hofmann rearrangement, the naming and properties of alkanenitriles, the hydrolysis of nitriles, their reaction with organometallic reagents, their reduction of nitriles. This chapter is a continuation of chapter 10 – Organic Chemistry 2.
The Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins are studied in this chapter : the structure and properties of amino acids, the synthesis of amino acids (Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky , Gabriel and Strecker synthesis), the structure and properties of peptides and proteins, the amino acids sequencing, the synthesis of polypeptides, the Merrifield solid-phase peptide synthesis.
