Making anisole

Capturing the natural beauty of chemistry I find that chemistry is often taught poorly or without a purpose. Because of this, people tend to lose interest and sometimes even start to hate it. In each video that I make, I try to balance theory with purpose. My goal is to capture the natural beauty of chemistry in fun and interesting ways. In terms of education, I have a BSc in Biochemistry, with a minor in pharmacology. However, I've always been a lot more drawn to applied chemistry. So after finishing my degree, I worked as a lab tech in an organic lab, and then as a chemistry grad student. However, I ended up leaving my graduate studies early to focus on this channel. Now, making chemistry videos has become my full-time job! Sponsorships and related business inquiries: [email protected] Other inquiries: [email protected]

Video Description
This was reuploaded because I made a mistake and claimed that there was a charge separation in methyl iodide due to electronegativity. Today we are making some anisole! Anisole itself doesn't have many direct applications, and it's mostly used as a precursor to perfumes and pharmaceuticals. I plan on using anisole to make anethole, which is 13x sweeter than regular sugar.
