RESUMO

The Chemistry of organic compounds is present in many aspects of life on the planet. In addition to many substances in our body being organic compounds, the energy matrix is based on burning fossil fuels, the biodiesel industry is also linked to organic reactions as well as the pharmaceutical industry. However, Organic Reaction Mechanisms is considered one of the most difficult subjects of undergraduate courses in chemistry. In order to improve the teaching-learning process, it was planned to elaborate animations on mechanisms of organic reactions, using simple programs accessible to all operating systems. Better than two-dimensional representation, the three-dimensional animations represent more concretely a model, at a macroscopic level, of what occurs on a sub-atomic scale. This is a new initiative to motivate students to study the concepts related to the subject of Mechanisms in Organic Chemistry, through research, planning and elaboration of animations. As a result, videos of the main reactions worked out in chemistry undergraduate courses were made, making the study of Organic Reactions more enlightening and understandable and demonstrated the use of computational technologies in the teaching of Organic Chemistry. It is an innovative, accessible, motivating and applicable teaching strategy in chemical courses.
