Departamento de Química OrgánicaDepartamento de Química OrgánicaThe Department of Organic Chemistry, University of Alicante, which was established in the year 1990, has been developing on an ongoing work of teaching and research area of knowledge of organic chemistry. Overall, what are some 40 persons, of whom 26 are engaged or plan to develop teaching degree in Biology, Chemistry, and Chemistry, as well as the Diploma in Optics and Optometry, teaching a total of more than 3,000 students.
With regard to research, carried out a series of projects both public funding ; Public, private or mixed, which focus on the field of synthesis of molecules with potential biological or pharmaceutical interest and development of new methodologies based on highly selective use of organometallic compounds such as highly reactive intermediates. This research has resulted in some thirty publications in international journals of high impact, and 4 or 5 PhD theses per year. Were also conducted applied research to development and scaling of industrial processes.
From the standpoint of equipment, the Department of Chemistry has a level of apparatus which equates to the best laboratories in the world in the field of organic chemistry.
Finally, it is common habit of this Department receive each year about a dozen teachers Foreigners who give lectures in the field of organic chemistry at the highest level, as well as postdocts different countries.
