To infinitive VS coordinating conjunction

Hello,

Can you please help clarify my uncertainties regarding the use of to infinitive and coordinating conjunctions per the two examples below. I like to know when we should use one over the other. Are there any rules or something I should look for?

I took the psychology class to acquire basic understanding TO understand more about human behaviors.

I took the psychology class to acquire basic understanding AND understand more about human behaviors. Which one sounds correct?

When would you use "to infinitive" over coordinating conjunction like "And" in this case?

Thank you.
